DescriptionGOES-16 Cloud Products (34531695953).png |
English: This example of GOES-16 derived products shows the cloud top phase, height, pressure and mask products applied to Advanced Baseline Imager imagery of the full disk on June 2, 2017. Cloud top phase enables meteorologists to better monitor and track changes in the water properties of clouds, improve icing forecasts for the aviation community, and aid in improving warnings for severe weather. Cloud top height information is used to forecast convective development and pressure information is crucial for the generation of satellite-derived winds. Clear sky mask produces a cloud classification for each pixel: cloudy, probably cloudy, clear, or probably clear. These products are useful for weather forecasting and improving aviation safety.
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.
