Let’s do the wave

Seeing some interesting waves at different layers on the Simple Water Vapor RGB this evening. As a reminder, the simple water vapor RGB is made up of the low level water vapor image (band  10), the upper level water vapor image (band 8) and the clean window IR image (band 13).

There is one area of east/west waves along the Oklahoma/Arkansas border. The main contribution to those waves is the green channel, so we are “seeing” those waves based on the upper level water vapor.

The other is to the west of the severe convection in west Texas.  These waves have contributions from all the channels.
