Beginning in 2009
Composite GOES
east and west IR (11
micron) imagery at
15-minute intervals
Hybrid scan
reflectivity from WSR-88D network (from
NSSL National Mosiac QPE analysis
)
- Time series
along path of user selected cold cloud clusters:
Satellite and
radar attributes (such as
cloud top temperature and maximum azmuthal shear)
Environmental parameters
from objective analysis of surface and RUC data (NOAA/SPC)
Paths are from K-means tracking of satellite IR features and are scale
dependent
