I'm excited about this new satellite, but those first 5.5 hours are a little dry. The next sections look a little more interesting, mesoscale and synoptic applications. It was kicked off by an animation (from the Himawari satellite) of a supercell in Bangladesh. You not only can see the evolution of the storm in 1 minute frames, but you can see the subsidence, outflow, and gravity waves sent off the backside of it like shock waves. Ocean, what is the time frame that it will actually become operational? Will it be centered east or west? I guess I could look all this up but I'm lazy and its easier to ask you. Can't wait!

As for east or west, technically we don't know that yet. But most likely east, since that covers Tornado Alley, hurricane zones, and big population centers. But GOES-West could blow up tomorrow and change those plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have an algorithm in it for turbulence detection apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 It wouldn't shock me. I mean transverse banding and stable wave clouds are readily apparent now. You can even really see individual contrails (chemtrails ) now with the improved resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The learning curve is going to be so steep though. It's a total paradigm shift for most (all?) forecasters. Satellite used to be a situational awareness tool in convective scenarios, mainly used in the pre-storm environment. But now we'll have updates just as fast, if not faster, than the radar. It's going to take some time to learn what certain signatures mean in a real-time environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This cracked me up when I read it this morning... I immediately was taken to imagining some creepy science experiment where they spliced Kevin and Jame's genetics together and came up with a clone named, Charlie Baker, and then polarized the creation to be opposite: "Boston (AP) - Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker says he's troubled by the decision of meteorologists not to change their forecasts for Tuesday's snowstorm even after realizing there was a good chance the late winter blast wasn't going to produce giant snow totals in majo Northeast cities."

Unless that car was carrying gunpowder, it wasn't lightning. It looks like a firework salute shell was lit inside it, then thrown out the window. Lightning hitting the roof of a car isn't going to make that sudden dense cloud of white smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not directly comparing qpf of areas, it still implies this...take our area for example. Our wettest period is aug sept oct while our driest is jan feb mar. Compare that to sema where their wettest is feb mar apr and driest is may jun july. that does not correlate to snow though, i get that. Im just saying that out west the wettest period is summer which makes sense, more storms and downpours that pump high amounts of qpf while out east had marine influenced air knocking it down some. in winter nw zones are colder than sema and winter in general has less qpf overall. but the closer you are to the ocean out east is where higher qpf can occur, snow or rain. no?

Yea you got a hard on from the funnel cloud forming ahead but act like you been there before....eyes on the road, let the cameras get it then when you can pull over, go ahead and whip it out.
