Derived ProductsThe images in the table below are
derived products that have been generated from the GOES-12 and -10 imager and
sounder data. They
have become instrumental to the operational forecaster in assessing the
pre-storm environment and filling voids in data fields such as the Gulf of
Mexico and Mexico. In addition, many of these products are now entered into the
numerical models serving to produce more accurate forecasts. Images will

Satellite Derived
Precipitation EstimatesThese products are developed by using
the cloud top temperatures and an alogorithm developed by the
NOAA/NESDIS/ORA
Hydrology Team. |
