Infrared Satellite

[EdgarAmigo EdgarAmigo]

HI

I'm having a problem with the infrared satellite sensor. The problem occurs in clear or cloudless skies. It shows -90.

However, in high clouds, such as storm clouds, it shows positive values, for example, 20.

I would like to know if this is a bug or a configuration problem.

If you can accept this message, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, that's fine.

The operating system: Windows 11
Version of windy: 51.1.0

Hi,
This is strange. During day time you should use Blue or Visible, because with Infra views it is difficult to see where are the high light clouds.

@EdgarAmigo-EdgarAmigo I already forwarded this to colleagues for an investigation.

@Suty Hi. I think I see the same problem. The cloud top temperatures/infrared temperatures seems to be inverse. That means quite warm on top of high cirrus clouds and very cold on groud where there are no clouds.

@aslaugmvn
Could you show an example with a screenshot. I can’t see the same issue.

@idefix37 yes, @aslaugmvn is right, the metric is mistakenly reading the raw data inverted in reversed order. It is already fixed on our side and should be part of hotfix in a few days.

@schilpat
You are right, today the temperature values ​​are reversed.
