UW-SSEC Science Plots (10/10/2004)

NOTES:(updated 16 Oct 2004)
(1) The Scanning-HIS data are preliminary and will be replaced with final calibrated datasets. Please check the data archive for the most recent calibrated S-HIS data.
(2) The satellite product images are courtesy of the Uni. of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) Space Science and Engineering Center (UW-SSEC) Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS)in collaboration with NASA and NOAA.
(3) The UAV Lidar data is from the DOE Sandia Lidar and is preliminary. The point of contact for the UW plots and the beta-version of the UW cloud top algorithm is reholz@ssec.wisc.edu.
