New Methods toward Minimizing the Slow Speed Bias Associated with Atmospheric Motion Vectors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omparisons between satellite-derived winds and collocated rawinsonde observations often show a pronounced slow speed bias at mid- and upper levels of the atmosphere. A leading cause of the slow speed bias is the improper ...
Assimilation of High-Resolution Satellite-Derived Atmospheric Motion Vectors: Impact on HWRF Forecasts of Tropical Cyclone Track and Intensity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t is well known that global numerical model analyses and forecasts benefit from the routine assimilation of atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) derived from meteorological satellites. Recent studies have also shown that the ...

Satellite Observations of a Severe Supercell Thunderstorm on 24 July 2000 Made during the GOES-11 Science Test
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper utilizes a severe thunderstorm case from 24 July 2000 to demonstrate the relevance of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) rapid-scan imagery and sounder data in the short-range forecasting ...
An Assessment of GOES-8 Imager Data Quality
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-8 (GOES-8), the first in the GOES I?M series of advanced meteorological satellites was launched in April 1994 and became operational at 75°W longitude the following ...
A Closer Look at the ABI on the GOES-R Series
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on board the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) is America?s next-generation geostationary advanced imager. GOES-R launched on 19 November 2016. The ABI is a ...
Recent Innovations in Deriving Tropospheric Winds from Meteorological Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolving constellation of environmental/meteorological satellites and their associated sensor technology is rapidly advancing. This is providing opportunities for creatively improving satellite-derived products used ...
Tropical Cyclone Forecasts Impact Assessment from the Assimilation of Hourly Visible, Shortwave, and Clear-Air Water Vapor Atmospheric Motion Vectors in HWRF
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The assimilation of atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) provides important wind information to conventional data-lacking oceanic regions, where tropical cyclones spend most of their lifetimes. Three new AMV types, shortwave ...
Fully Automated Cloud-Drift Winds in NESDIS Operations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud-drift winds have been produced from geostationary satellite data in the Western Hemisphere since the early 1970s. During the early years, winds were used as an aid for the short-term forecaster in an era when numerical ...
