GWINDEX-2: 2nd GOES Rapid-scan Winds Experiment (GWINDEX-2)
The second GOES rapid-scan WINDs EXperiment (GIMEX-2) was organized to demonstrate improved quantity and quality of cloud-motion winds using 7.5 minute rapid-scan visible and infrared imagery from GOES-10. The experiment area of coverage from the Eastern North Pacific and west coast of North America, from 8 January to 31 March 2002.
NOAA/NESDIS and its Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. CIMSS/NESDIS will [produced] rapid scan GOES-10 high-density, satellite-derived wind products. These products also supported the PACJET (PACific landfalling JETs experiment).
