JPSS Satellite Products for Extratropical Transition
Analyzing the complex environment favorable for hurricane tropical to extratropical transition can be challenging, especially in data sparse regions. This short module provides an overview of JPSS Proving Ground satellite products, Air Mass RGB, NUCAPS Soundings, and SPoRT Ozone products, available to diagnose the influence of stratospheric air during extratropical transition. This module is 7-10 minutes of audio and user interaction. The interactive application example focuses on the use of these products for the extratropical transition of Arthur in 2014.
