Observations for comparison to
RAMS results
Results from RAMS on the previous page showed
a prediction of weather for Texas for January 13. The images and
animation below depict observations for part of that period. For
comparison purposes, look at satellite observations from GOES-8, first,
in the infrared and then in the visible. A sequence
of the infrared images can also be viewed. One can see signatures
of the front that was predicted by RAMS.
The following image is in the visible from GOES-8. Qualitatively,
the correspondence between the observations and the predictions is good.
A presentation of just radar observations is shown below later in the
day. The predicted front is visible in the southeastern portion of
Texas near Houston.
