Longwave Infrared Window (10.2-11.2 µm)
Split Window (11.5-12.5 µm)

1. Improved cloud drift wind velocity measurements and height assignment with the 6.7 µm data (water vapor slicing)
   
   
2. Enhanced thunderstorm development and evolution monitoring
   
   
3. Severe storm identification
   
   
4. Locations of storms with heavy rainfall
   
   
5. Sea and land surface temperature monitoring is improved: ocean currents, fishing, as well as nowcast implications for agricultural applications such as early frost warning, crop stress and pest control
   
   
6. Split window product provides low level moisture product for thunderstorm nowcasting
   
   
7. Volcanic ash detection to serve aviation community
