		CIMSS Water Vapor Imagery Tutorial ^Votes:0 Water Vapor Imagery Tutorial Image animation: Java \| QuickTime Left : GOES-9 water vapor image showing an extratropical cyclone over the eastern North Pacific Ocean on 29 January 1996 (7 days after GOES-9 became fully operational at 135 W longitude). Ribbons of dry (dark) and moist (light gray) air are seen to be making complete revolutions into the center of the cyclonic vortex; this indicates "closed" wind fields within the middle and upper troposphere, and signals the beginning of the occlusion stage of cyclone development. Right : Corresponding water vapor tracked winds for this case (about 4 hours after the image on the left). The focus of this tutorial is interpretation of water vapor satellite imagery, with an emphasis on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES I Read More Go to Site
