This GOES-17 (GOES West) air mass RGB imagery shows a hurricane-force low (the remnants of Super Typhoon Hagibis) over the Bering Sea and a storm-force low over the Gulf of Alaska.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This GOES-17 (GOES West) air mass RGB imagery shows a hurricane-force low (the remnants of Super Typhoon Hagibis) over the Bering Sea and a storm-force low over the Gulf of Alaska. This type of imagery combines water vapor and infrared imagery from the ABI and is used to monitor the evolution of cyclones and jet streaks. It provides information on the middle and upper levels of the troposphere and distinguishes between high and mid-level clouds. Warmer air masses appear bright green, while colder and drier air masses appear blue and brown, respectively. High clouds appear white in this imagery and blue areas indicate cold, polar air. The reddish areas indicate indicate high vorticity/jet streaks. More info on satellite RGBs: www.goes-r.gov/featureStories/satelliteImageryRGBs.html
