The algorithm has trouble latching onto individual cloud elements and therefore groups together many individual cu features together&#8230;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&#8230;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&#8230;adding to the pulsey nature of the CI algorithm imagery.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11501\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.nssl.noaa.gov\/ewp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2015\/05\/CI-EWX-1945z.gif\" alt=\"CI EWX 1945z\" width=\"1656\" height=\"854\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pickles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; CI utility in an environment with abundant Cu development appears to be more in deciphering general timing of convective intiation across the entire area.
