@Wx_Jones And associated loop FYI

Gentle push against the wall (Alps). Weak low level winds constrained the fog/low cloud sheet to the western arch of the Po Valley. #FCI VIS0.64 channel at 500m.

@eumetsat_users Side view from the north was beautiful (ca south of Belgrade), revealing thickness of the DIBS band (#FCI view later that day shows high transparency, background shades/colours noticeable).

View over #StormEowyn through the eyes of #MTG-I1 #FCI instrument. Notice how clear skies appear hazy over the sea, around the storm center (occlusion) - this is due to a strong winds (sea spray and white caps enhancing the reflection) .

Experts call it 'water-vapour eye' for some reason. #GOES-west WV6.2 channel, 20250119-1200z. Credit: #Eumetrain ePort

Run around Madagascar. Life-cycle of TC Dikeledi captured with 8-day loop of #FCI GeoColour RGB. Luckily not very impactful one (mostly lived as Cat 1 storm).

@AMAZlNGNATURE I'm surprised no one yet tried to do some rafting there. #RedBull, sleeping? 🙃

Which cloud is the highest one? Really a question for monkeys J. Height calculation is only a step up, simple trigonometry - having in mind the location and scanning time (ie Sun angle), and distance scale. Lovely resolving power of #FCI over SW Indian Ocean.

A baby vortex (see it?) playing around a big one in the Mozambique channel, ie around #TC #Dikeledi (tropical storm strength at the moment, plans to re-intensify to Cat 2) . Geo Colour RGB of #MTG #FCI earlier today.

My last post this year, no comments this time, simply enjoying the latest #MTG #FCI view (2024-12-20T1330)

Yellow-blue-yellow colour sandwich along the Velebit mountain yesterday. Yellow (water) cloud, lower than than blue (snow) mountain ridge, and that stronger yellow in the west is just a Sun refection (from steep cloud-free mountain slopes). #Meteosat-12 CloudPhaseRGB

@OdedRechavi There are many chasing you from behind, notice. And all I see is the cloud dynamics in the wake area behind updrafts at the anvil level with stronger convective storm-relative winds :)

These transverse cirrus bands over W and N Africa are sign of a strong jet stream at tropopause level. Nicely seen with #FCI True Colour RGB, today at 8:20UTC.

Eyebrow. Or a zoom over cloud free area captured by #Meteosat #FCI high resolution VIS0.64 channel (at 500m).
