GOES Dry Microburst Potential Index (DMPI) Likelihood of high based, low precipitation microbursts - West/Central US
GOES Microburst Day Potential Index This index is useful for showing the potential for wet microbursts in the southeast United States. An index value approaching 1 represents a high risk.
GOES High Density Winds • Winds Derived in Several Categories • Cloud-Drift IR Winds (Imager) • Water Vapor Winds (Imager) • Visible Winds (Imager) • Water Vapor Winds (Sounder) http://orbit-net.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/winds/ Link to winds presentation
