Inverted V on Satellite Signature?
      #70410 - Tue Aug 22 2006 10:20 AM

DESPITE THE WAVE BEING BENEATH AN UPPER RIDGE...WEAK
LOW LEVEL INVERTED-V CURVATURE IS OBSERVED ON INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY. SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE FROM
17N-20N BETWEEN 75W-78W.
I have seen this statement before. Is there a brief explanation of what they are referring to? Is this a situation that could develop. or is it an indication of no more than clouds and rain?

An inverted-V signature is just that -- the low cloud lines (and low level winds) create the appearance of an inverted V in satellite imagery, or something like...

Code:


-------------/\------------

------------/  \-----------

-----------/    \----------

---------->------<---------


albeit not quite that pronounced with the changes.
