Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16
(GOES-East) “Red” Visible (
0.64 µm) and “Clean” Infrared Window (
10.35 µm) images
(above) showed clusters of thunderstorms that developed along and just behind a cold front moving eastward across Minnesota on 08 August 2020. In addition, a decaying Mesoscale Convective System in southeastern North Dakota eventually revealed curved cloud features associated with a Mesoscale Convective Vortex.

A toggle between time-matched NOAA-20 VIIRS Infrared Window (11.45 µm) and GOES-16 “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images
(below) demonstrated the northwestward parallax displacement of GOES-16 cloud-top features (note: the same color enhancement enhancement has been applied to both images). Due to the 375-meter spatial resolution of VIIRS imagery, it was able to sense overshooting top infrared brightness temperatures as cold as -77.8ºC (compared to -65.7ºC with GOES-16). The higher resolution VIIRS image also provided a clearer depiction of the cloud-top gravity waves and transverse banding.

A GOES-16 Infrared image with parallax displacement vectors and magnitudes (in km) from
this site is shown below. For a 50,000 foot cloud top over southern Minnesota, the parallax adjustment was to the southeast at a distance of 21 km (13 miles) — this corresponded well to what was seen in the NOAA-20/GOES-16 comparison above.
