Bill Line, Physical Scientist and Imagery Product Lead, NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), Fort Collins, Colorado
Description:
This seminar will highlight how LEO imagery and products support winter weather forecasting. Applications of VIIRS single-band imagery and RGBs will be discussed, including detection of low clouds and fog, identification of blowing snow and visibility hazards, snowpack monitoring, and assessment of sea spray and freezing spray. Snowfall rate products, NUCAPS soundings, and CrIS water vapor imagery will be shown for diagnosing snowfall intensity, thermodynamic structure, and synoptic-scale features. These capabilities provide the greatest benefits over Alaska, and are valuable supplements to GOES over the CONUS.
