Description:

Recent advances in geostationary imaging have enabled the derivation of high spatiotemporal-resolution cloud-motion winds for the study of mesoscale unsteady flows. Due to the general absence of ground truth, the quality assessment of satellite winds is challenging. In the current limited practice, straightforward plausibility checks on the smoothness of the retrieved wind field or tests on aggregated trends such as the mean velocity components are applied for quality control. In this study, we demonstrate additional diagnostic tools based on feature extraction from the retrieved velocity field.
