Creating a CC curve for use on SWIS ZA sectors

The CC curve is one of the most used curves in many forecast offices in northern climates during the cold season. Unfortunately, the CC curve is not provided on any sector during daylight hours from the GOES-TAP. To solve this problem, two CC based enhancement curves were made on SWIS for a ZA enhanced KF1 image. These images are routinely available on SWIS from the GOES TAP at least once an hour, 24 hours a day. This provides the forecaster with uninterrupted loops of the CC curve which are extremely valuable in the cold months for low cloud tracking and forecasting.
