Hurricane Melissa is rapidly approaching Jamaica.
These side-by-side images from METimage on board Metop-SGA1 show how the storm has developed over the last 2 days (taken at approx. 15:00 UTC both days).
The storm is intensifying, expected to cause significant damage when it makes landfall there.

The Severe Storms RGB helps spot dangerous thunderstorms fast by showing what’s happening at the tops of clouds. It combines data on moisture, light, & heat to reveal where tall, icy storm clouds are building - a sign of hail, strong winds, & lightning ahead.

During this period #Melissa rapidly intensified to Cat. 5 strength before making landfall in Jamaica, then moved on to Cuba, bringing severe rain, flooding & widespread damage to both regions.

Spoiler: è inferiore al MODIS, del 1998. Non ci siamo.
Non parlo dei cinesi perché è come sparare contro la croce rossa. Che peccato.

Le (poche) bande che si vedono sono dovute alla struttura intrinseca dei rilevatori (usati su tutti i satelliti meteo). Il problema del METimage è che le bande appaiono anche nei prodotti elaborati/calibrati, il cui processo di produzione dovrebbe rimuoverle. Qui sotto invece l'immagine è grezza.
