1km vis and OT detection.
An example of the display on awips 2 showing mature supercells and the OT detect. With no visible imagery at night this would be an exc. discriminator of severe cells. Prob Severe on all of the storms with OT detect was over 90%, The VLAPS Cape was useful in analyzing the environment of the far western storm (It was at the edge of the domain) which is in a small area of high instability but surrounded by much more unfavorable environment.
