GOES-16 Cloud Mask and Top Properties Update in AWIPS-2 NWS/OBS

GOES-16 provides Cloud Mask and Cloud Top Properties data through AWIPS-2, including information on cloud top height, pressure, temperature, and clear sky mask. This update covers the handling, display, and ingestion of these products by NWS, starting from June 2017. The data is transmitted via SBN and includes detailed examples of each parameter. The images provide visual representations of Cloud Top Height, Pressure, Temperature, and Clear Sky Mask captured at specific times.
