![]() ![]() Units of IR-WV and two IRW image enhancements are in ☌. TRMM overpass was at 1740 UTC IR-WV and IRW images were at 1745 UTC. Insets show corresponding IRW images using (top right) BD-curve enhancement and (top left) matched IR image with IRW-Max enhancement.

Storm center position resulting from the ADT automated storm center determination scheme using the derived IR-WV image is shown by the red arrow. Official NHC final BT (magenta), interpolated NHC real-time forecast (cyan), and ADT automated storm center position derived from the IRW image (blue) are shown by colored squares. ![]() Satellite inset displays the location of the cross section (yellow line) transversing the eye region.Ĭomparison between a (top left) GOES IRW image, (middle left) operational “BD curve” enhanced IRW image, (top right) IRW image with the IRW-Max enhancement, (middle right) derived IRWV channel image with exponential color enhancement, and (bottom right) NOAA/NWS NEXRAD composite reflectivity radar image from Key West, FL, for Hurricane Katrina at 0915 UTC.
