Late November ~ Early December Pacific Coast 2011
I will post some images here so you can see how prevalent the gridding has been this early winter. “Normally” (yeah right, what’s normal anymore?!). We don’t see much gridding in the Pacific in the winter, it has been more of a spring-summer thing. Suffice to say that these are not “ship VAPOR trails” due [...]
12-29-2011 Pacific Oddities
Southern California seems to be getting quite a bit of “attention” these daze. Here again we have a grid formed just upwind of the populous area. While once again the Water Vapor satellite image shows the area to have little to no water vapor (dusty Orange): As if that was not [...]
Offshore Spider Formation
Satellite image shows this spider star-shaped pattern was formed between dawn and noon on December 27, 2o11. The line width is slightly larger than the San Francisco Bay (several miles wide). Line formation speed was about 20 Miles Per Hour. The area of pattern formation is seen in the Water Vapor figure [...]
Pacific Line Speed
by Lee Riddle This morning we are seeing extensive Lining off-shore of California and Oregon. These lines can be seen utilizing the so-called “FOG” channel. The Fog channel has nothing to do with what we think of as fog, instead it is able to detect heat signatures closer to the Earth’s surface. [...]
Fog Product Tutorial
The following will explain the different views you will get from the “Fog” channel satellite, which is actually a subtraction product of the shortwave infrared from the long-wave infrared channels. Weather forecasters have been instructed to use this “product” at night to predict ground fog, but as you can see it is a very graphic [...]
Late November Satellite Imagery
What we are looking at is the north coast of California & South coast of Oregon. The State line is the horizontal yellow line in the center. The second County (yellow lined area) down from this border is Humboldt County. The third is Mendocino. The area off shore & onshore in Mendocino County shows as a [...]
11/15/2011 Grid
Today we see major grid lining placed on the leading edge of the incoming water vapor mass approaching the West coast. To get an idea of the width of these grid lines you can compare them to the width of known land areas, such as the width of the San Francisco Bay (which varies from [...]

Morning satellite shots of a grid forming off southern California. The water vapor image shows no water vapor.
Water Vapor Tutorial
Let’s use today’s (11/14/11) Water Vapor Sat Photo as a tutorial example of what the colors stand for, this is an image of the Pacific Ocean and west USA coastline. The area West of central California down to just below the tip of Baja California and out to the 135th Longitude is colored dull orange [...]
