Below are animations of diurnal convection. Loops of 3-hourly data(00,03,06,09,12,18,21) are shown below:
The OLR fields for the 1999 season were derived using GOES-8 IR data. These fields represent 16km OLR data interpolated to a 0.2deg latlon grid.
The OLR fields for the 2001 season were derived using 4km global IR data from CPC which has been converted to OLR fields and interpolated to a 0.2deg latlon grid.
