A quick look at NUCAPS gridded data.

First chance to take a look at gridded NUCAPS data. Comparing the 700mb and 500mb NUCAPS grids to RAP and HRRR analysis, the NUCAPS was consistently about 2 degrees C colder at 700mb, and 1-2C colder at 500mb. This is also evident in the H7-5 lapse rate image below, with NUCAPS in the top left, then clockwise HRRR, NAM40, and GFS20.
