The Severe Storm RGB
Information received from the three channels that contribute to the RGB combination
| WV6.2 - WV 7.3 (difference of the two WV channels) | Information about moisture content in middle/upper layers of the troposphere |
| IR3.9 - IR10.8 | High values of the green component for cold cloud tops, high reflectivity (small ice particles) for very cold cloud tops, and lower reflectivity (normal updraft) |
| NIR1.6 - VIS.0.6 | Information about ice and/or water clouds |
Resulting colors for typical features
| Blue | Ocean/land |
| Red | Convective cloud: large ice particles |
| Yellow | Convective cloud: small ice particles |
Typical application areas
- Convective cells
- Detection of severe storm centers
