Analysis and Applications of Water Vapor-Derived Multispectral Composites for Geostationary Satellites
2018
Analysis of multispectral (red-green-blue, RGB) satellite image composites can be used to improve understanding of thermodynamic and / or dynamic features associated with the development of significant weather events (cyclones, hurricanes, intense convection, turbulence, etc.). These composites minimize the need for a more time consuming analysis of multiple images and can provide additional insight not available from a single channel. The enhanced water vapor imaging capabilities of the Advanced Baseline Imager on GOES-16,-17 satellites provide a unique opportunity to demonstrate this capability through a comparison of the Air Mass and Differential Water Vapor RGB image products for several case studies.
