Current trends in Fog and Low Cloud detection

Hello Bodo and all,

is there a web link for the ACCESS-C fog charts you discussed today. Magda and I can only find this

and ACCESS-DC

I obtained the Fog Fraction and Visibility forecasts from the Bureau's KENNY software. This can only be accessed within the Bureau of Meteorology.
To get there, try to open KENNY in AIFS. I use the South Australian version, KENNY(SA). I then choose either the ACCESS-C-VT (Victoria / Tasmania) or the ACCESS-C-SY (eastern New South Wales) model. Fog Fraction and Visibily are the last and third last option in the Model Display box.

Question from the audience Chat Box:
"Please send the link for the GOES low cloud imagery"

Answer: the GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager Algorithm is at the following reference:
