Description
These are the list of RGBs that are NOAA/NWS priorties and appear in the AWIPS menus as something forecasters can see:
Product Ingredients (ABI bands)

- Day Ocean Cloud Convection ABI03, ABI13
A check in the above list means it is available in Geo2Grid and is documented in the reader as being available.
It was noted that the first 7 or so (up to Fire Temperature) are the highest priority/useful. We'll need to consider which exact recipe to use as Satpy may include some of these but with different per-band scaling limits or for more complex RGBs like geocolor different correction algorithms/LUTs may be used (ex. rayleigh correction by CIRA's code versus Satpy's sibling project pyspectral).
NOTES
- "CIMSS Natural Color" I believe is the same as a no-rayleigh version of our "true color", possibly no
/ cos(SZA)
term either. So I think if we're taking our opinions into account we'll just keep ourtrue_color
. We also have a "natural_color" but I believe that follows the EUMETSAT traditional recipe (not very "natural"). - Satpy has a geocolor implementation but it likely uses different algorithms or approaches to the exact CIRA recipe. This work was added to Satpy mostly by EUMETSAT with permission from CIRA to get a GeoColor composite for the FCI instrument.
- We have something called "fog" which if I'm reading the configs correctly is a (12.0 - 10.8, 10.8 - 8.7, 10.8) RGB. I'm not sure where this came from.
- day cloud phase distinction in satpy
- geo color in satpy
Possible day cloud convection called "cira_day_convection" in satpyThis is apparently the same as "convection" mention in point 9 below and neither are "day cloud convection" which I can't find a record of.- fire temperature awips in satpy
- day snow fog in satpy
- day convection as "convection" in satpy
- day land cloud in satpy
- differential water vapor as "water_vapors2" in satpy
- so2 in satpy
- simple water vapor as "water_vapors1" in satpy
- day cloud type possibly as "cimss_cloud_type" in satpy
