Atlantic Sandwich RGB Satellite
The benefit of the VIS/IR Sandwich RGB is that it combines the high spatial detail from visible band 3 with the temperature information of IR band 13. With this product it is possible to monitor the cloud-top features of mature convective storms which are related to severity.
Atlantic Band 13 Clean IR Satellite
The 10.3 μm “clean” infrared window band is less sensitive than other infrared window bands to water vapor absorption, and therefore improves atmospheric moisture corrections, aids in cloud and other atmospheric feature identification / classification, estimation of cloud top brightness temperature and cloud particle size, and surface property characterization in derived products.
