Overshooting Top Detection – Mid Atlantic Region

Posted in General on May 13, 2014 by Bill Line.

 

 

The Overshooting Top Detection algorithm seemed to be poorly observing overshooting tops with pulse convection over the Mid-Atlantic States.  From both images (one at 2245 UTC and 2300 UTC), no overshooting tops were observed by the algorithm with the convection in western Maryland and northern Virginia.  A few tops were observed over West Virginia.
