Why is “Upper-level water vapor” band imagery important?

The 6.2 µm “Upper-level water vapor” band is one of three water vapor bands on the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), and is used for tracking upper-tropospheric winds, identifying jet streams, forecasting hurricane track and mid-latitude storm motion, monitoring severe weather potential, estimating upper/ mid-level moisture (for legacy vertical moisture profiles) and identifying regions where the potential for turbulence exists. Further, it can be used to validate numerical model initialization and warming/cooling with time can reveal vertical motions at mid- and upper levels. Read more at NOAA.
