As discussed in more detail on the
VISIT Meteorological Interpretation Blog, a small lake effect cloud plume formed over the southern portion of the Great Salt Lake in northern Utah on
04 February 2017. A comparison of early morning Visible images from the GOES-15
(GOES-West), GOES-16 and GOES-13
(GOES-East) satellites
(above; also available as an MP4 animation) showed the advantage of improved spatial and temporal resolution provided by the GOES-16
0.64 µm “Red visible” band for depicting the evolution of this feature.
Several hours prior to the formation of the lake effect cloud band, the MODIS Sea Surface Temperature product (below) indicated that mid-lake water temperatures were as warm as 48ºF.
