Water Vapor (6.7 micron)

Vertical Cross Section 3 (Page 7 of 17)

Return to the previous menu.

A vertical cross-section of temperature, mixing ratio, and contour indicating 6.7 micron water vapor channel saturation level between San Diego, California and Barksdale Louisiana A vertical cross-section of temperature, relative humidity, and contour indicating 6.7 micron water vapor channel saturation level between San Diego, California and Barksdale Louisiana A GOES-8 6.7 micron water vapor image over North America with cross-section transect 

Now a thick contour has been added to each vertical cross section to provide a better sense of the so-called water vapor topography as seen with the 6.7 micron channel. This contour represents a level where the vertically integrated moisture content is such that the 6.7 micron channel can sense no deeper into the atmosphere.
