CI utility in congested cu fields

Posted in General on May 20, 2015 by Darrel Kingfield.

 

CI utility in an environment with abundant Cu development appears to be more in deciphering general timing of convective intiation across the entire area. The algorithm has trouble latching onto individual cloud elements and therefore groups together many individual cu features together…washing out the signal on development of individual pulse convective cells. This overall result in a very pulsey and blotchy CI pattern from scan to scan…which is hard to utilize for targetting individual cell development. Once the cu begins to tower and glaciation takes place the algorithm drops tracking the feature all together…adding to the pulsey nature of the CI algorithm imagery.CI EWX 1945z
