Summary
[edit]DescriptionGOES-16 Total Precipitable Water and Cloud Top Height (34531694663).png |
English: This example of GOES-16 derived products shows total precipitable water and cloud top height applied to Advanced Baseline Imager imagery of the full disk on June 2, 2017. The colored areas show the amount of water vapor and the height of clouds is depicted in grayscale. The total precipitable water product provides useful information to weather forecasters and hydrologists to improve their situational awareness for a number of situations that require forecasting of events, such as heavy rain, flash flooding, onset of Gulf of Mexico return flow, and the onset of the Southwest United States monsoon. The cloud top height product allows forecasters to determine areas of cloud growth and likelihood of precipitation.
Note: This is preliminary, non-operational data as GOES-16 undergoes on-orbit testing. The data products shown are in beta maturity status, which means the product is made available to users to gain familiarity with data formats and parameters. The product has been minimally validated and may still contain errors and is not optimized for operational use.
