ALT GOES-16 visible images of multiband cloud features in the low pressure system for a 1-h period on February 1, 2020 at (a) 1440, (b) 1510, (c) 1525, and (d) 1540 UTC. The multibands can be seen as striations in the cloud reflectance most notably along the 45° azimuth, but also along the 90°–100° azimuth range in all four panels. As time progresses, the striations in the cloud reflectance become more well-defined with an apparent regular oscillation. At 1540 UTC, panel (d), the bands essentially cover the full northeast sector of the storm from ~15° to 115° and near the storm center out to at least a 250-km radius. The data are shown on a storm-centered polar grid with range rings starting at 50 km and ending at 300 km. Note that 0° is pointing to the east. The red line marks the approximate track of the ER-2 aircraft during the 1429–1449 UTC time period. See separately the animation of the GOES-16 satellite imagery for the same time period at the beginning of this article highlight.
