Enhancement Descriptions:
AVN
 Aviation color enhancement
BD
 Dvorak enhancement - used for Tropical Classifications with the Dvorak Technique
FT
 Funktop enhancement - developed by Ted Funk for assistance with Precipitation analysis
IR2
 Channel 2 Infrared imagery - Shortwave, sometimes considered "night visible"
IR4
 Unenhanced Channel 4 Infrared Imagery
JSL
 JSL2 enhancement - developed by Jim Lynch for use with tropical classifications
RB
 Rainbow enhancement curve - pretty color enhancement
RGB
 Combination of Visible and IR using a three channel technique to make features stand out
VIS
 Unenhanced Visible imagery that changes to IR2 overnight.
WV
 Water Vapor, IR Channel 3 with color enhancement

 

Imagery between 0345Z and 0615Z may be from GOES-10 due to GOES-12 being in eclipse.
