Title: This Week In Weather
Superior Flow of Clouds
3
00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:08,541
On March 1, 2021, NOAA satellites monitored lake-effect clouds over Lake Superior.
4
00:00:08,541 --> 00:00:13,613
Light snow bands were embedded in the clouds.
5
00:00:13,613 --> 00:00:19,352
Lake-effect snow occurs when frigid air, often originating from Canada,
crosses the warmer lake water.
6
00:00:19,919 --> 00:00:25,658
GOES-16 viewed the clouds in motion and tracked convection within them.
7
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:35,235
NOAA-20 captured the scene in stunning detail when the satellite passed over that afternoon.
8
00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:44,611
Specialized GOES-16 imagery distinguishes between snow/ice (seen as white)
and clouds (seen as yellow).
9
00:00:44,711 --> 00:00:54,020
GOES-16 and NOAA-20 work together to provide critical information about
clouds for weather forecasts and warnings.
