This is an example where I feel like there is so much going on with the CI product that it’s difficult to draw many solid conclusions. Looking at the zoomed out image, you can see just how many different individual areas that the CI product has picked up on. The product appears much too cluttered in this situation to really be helpful in my opinion. Even when I zoom in and focus on the highest area of CI (94% shown in red), I feel like it’s still difficult to track the development of that individual area and the nearby yellow and green areas. This is probably because the CI product and satellite imagery are every 15 min. When we get the 5 min data, I think the CI product will be much more useful.
