Boundary Layer Moisture Depth
A new study has begun which involves using GOES-11 bands 4 and 5 to assist in retrieving boundary layer moisture depth. Eleven sounding locations were selected across the central plains of the U.S., and raob data from the summers of 2006 and 2007 were collected. GOES data was also obtained so that comparisons can be made between the raob water vapor profiles and the GOES brightness temperatures at those locations. Results will be posted here as they become available.
