American Christmas Blizzard as seen from GOES16


Ernst Lobsiger
 

Hello,

overnight I made six four days GOES16 *.webm movies
on my oldest receiver Ganymed (Fujitsu, Core2 Duo,
8GB DDR2 RAM, where 4GB are used by a RAM disk,
the trailer is XEON 24GB RAM, sorry, copy and paste).

"namerica5km" 2022/12/21 00:00-2022/12/24 23:50.
Big frames 2154x1800 pixels are used, should run
fine on 4K monitors. Typical video size is 22 MB.
With winter solstice a lot of darkness up North!
I found 'airmass' to be the most impressive ...

Very impressive Ernst, especially in view of the specs of the machine you used and the resulting manageable movie file size.

 

The airmass version nicely shows in a continuous way how the cold air is being driven south between two vortices. A superb example of the polar vortex having split into two.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Ferdinand

Ferdinand,

users of SPS should also have a look at OPC MSLP charts. Here is where my movies stopped ...

Cheers,
Ernst
