Does MIMIC-IR account for parallax?
MIMIC and MIMIC-IR have a simple parallax correction algorithm. The position of the microwave imagery is shifted on the assumption that the observed structures are uniformly 10 km high. This creates an overcorrection for low-lying features, particularly coastlines, but minimizes the position error on the eyewall, which is the most important feature. The position of the infrared imagery is shifted on the assumption that the observed structures are uniformly 16 km high, for the same reasons.
