The eastward transport of smoke is certainly evident in #GOESWest True Color RGB imagery -- prior to sunrise, the darker purple pixels in Nighttime Microphysics RGB images highlighted several of the larger ongoing fires: geosphere.ssec.wisc.edu#playing:true...; #AKwx
In a comparison of #GOESWest and #GOESEast Visible images with an overlay of the Fire Mask derived product, there was a #GOESEast fire detection just northeast of Flagstaff AZ nearly 4 hours before #GOESWest (due to topography partially blocking a direct view from #GOESWest). #AZwx
1-minute #GOESWest Infrared images (with plots of 1-minute GLM Flash Points) were used to monitor heavy rain and flooding potential across American Samoa yesterday -- during the period shown, Flash Flood Warnings were issued, with rainfall reports of up to 4.5" in 3 hours.
Here's an animation of #GOESWest True Color RGB images -- it appears that the von Kármán vortex street was created by northerly winds interacting with the sharp western tip of Nelson Island? Full res: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl... #AKwx
Daytime True Color + nighttime Dust RGB images from #GOESWest / #GOES19 (Preliminary/Non-operational) / #GOESEast showed distinct signatures of the major dust storm that began on 18 March in Mexico/New Mexico (the Dust RGB highlighted dust as magenta): cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...
True Color RGB + Nighttime Microphysics RGB images from #GOESEast and #GOESWest showed signatures of the US-taxpayer-subsidized launch of SpaceX Starship Test Flight 8 rocket booster contrail as it loitered near the South Texas coast.
After a cold front surged south across the Gulf of Mexico, it crossed Mexico's Isthmus of Tehuantepec then emerged off the Pacific coast of Mexico (into the Gulf of Tehuantepec). The hazy signature of dust lofted by strong gap winds could be seen in True Color RGB images from #GOESWest & #GOESEast.
RT by @NWSBayArea: The latest #GOESWest imagery continues to show a large storm system heading towards the state. A baroclinic leaf feature can be seen in the latest imagery showing the storm is evolving rapidly into a strong and potent storm... https://x.com/NWSLosAngeles/status/1889903761684046068
The system that brought severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to parts of Hawai’i on 30-31 January (see cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...) also deposited significant snowfall on the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, as seen in #GOESWest True Color RGB images during the past 2 days. #HIwx
