  1. Doesn’t look much different from your bufkit ones. That IJD image is awesome. 30 microbars smack in the middle of the DGZ. 10-15ubars is pretty decent too. That GFS one for IJD is a little meh. I’ll agree on that.
  2. Oh trust me...I know. Those pics are insane. I think Don S had some good ones on his site too.
  3. Well the satellite has different bands with different wavelengths that measure wv at different levels. I think the rule of thumb was that the more typically used wv images showed you wv around the 600mb level. I haven’t gotten enough into GOES-R to know what micrometer wavelengths they use for their lower, mid, and upper wv maps. I think the mid trop one is 6.9um. Plus there’s the fact you’re comparing vorticity to water vapor. I’m just not sure I would be hyperscrutinizing the two looking for comparisons or model error.
  4. Yes, but I'm going to need more than 17 chickens to account for all of the models we have now.
  5. Sometimes the best forcing with those bands end up higher up...H5-H7. I'll have to look at BUFKIT later as I have to head out. I'm sure Scoot can explain it more and better.
  6. He has those fronto maps on TT now so he doesn't have to wait for a text from Shabbs. Of course that's just H7 so the banding could be a little west of the best H7 fronto. IOW, the NAM has it west of him. lol
