Abstract: The direct synoptic application of radiances measured in the 695 cm?1 channel of the 15 ?m carbon dioxide band by the vertical sounding instruments aboard the NOAA operational satellites is described. The radiation measured ...

Abstract: Case studies are used to examine the horizontal and vertical temperature structure in baroclinic zones for three synoptic situations. The studies compare analyses of 1000?500 mb and 700?300 mb thicknesses made from satellite ...

Abstract: Errors in operational forecasts produced by high-speed electronic computers can be classed broadly into two categories: (1) those resulting from inadequacies of the dynamic model, and (2) those resulting from poor specification ...
