Primary Application
Continuous day/night cloud feature identification and classification, convective severe weather signatures, and hurricane intensity.
Input into Baseline Products:
The 10.3 μm imagery is used in the creation of legacy vertical temperature/moisture profiles, stability indices, total precipitablewater, sea surface temperature, Hurricane Intensity Estimate (HIE), and snow cover products.
Input into RGBs:
10.3 μm imagery is used in many RGB composites and band differences
