GOES-18 Band 7 Barcode Artifact:

The Band 7 barcode artifact is vertical striping likely caused by higher than usual noise on the GOES-18 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). A Python script has been created to correct this striping issue using Fast Fourier Transforms. Current data processed with this script is available here including recent data files in NetCDF format.

This research was conducted through a National Weather Service Pathways Internship.

Tropical Cyclone Intensity Determination using Machine Learning

A Convolution Neural Network Machine Learning model was created to use Longwave IR satellite imagery with previous intensity, hour of the day, latitude, and longitude to predict the current intensity of the tropical cyclone.

Intensity estimates for storms from the 2023 season are available here.

User inputted data intensity estimates are available here.

Statistics for the intensity estimates for the 2023 season are available here.
