Abstract: In a survey of examples of formative tropical cyclones viewed by the TIROS satellite, and a comparison of many of these views with surface, upper-air, and time and space-section analyses, it is found that, the upper-level ...

Abstract: Typhoon Billie exhibited mesoscale warm-core characteristics and developed winds of typhoon intensity without ever forming a wall cloud around the eye. Clouds that swirled into the storm center were flattened cumulus and ...

Abstract: A case study of the early development of typhoon Marie (October 1966) revealed that this storm formed and intensified within the zone of the ITC. Satellite photographs, including infrared read-out during the night-time ...

Abstract: Three ESSA II views and a Nimbus II view of tropical cyclone Judy illustrate an important general characteristic of tropical cyclone development. This is the tendency of the apparent center of circulation, as seen in ...

Abstract: A study of the movement of orographic cloud plumes from one island to another in the Svalbard-Novaya Zemlya region of the Barents Sea revealed a close association with similar movements of arctic fronts. Strong northerly ...

Abstract: Four TIROS V mosaics showing typhoon Sarah on consecutive days during the period of its decline are described. The initial development of what later became typhoon Vera is also shown. It is found that marked changes in ...

Abstract: Satellite photographs of hurricanes reveal the complete storm in relationship to its environment. In many instances ?outer convective bands? or ?pre-hurricane squall lnes? appear to partially ?ring? the storm. These bands ...

Abstract: A method to predict 24 h movement of tropical cyclones using consecutive daily satellite views is described. The method is based on the observation that changes in the location of major structural features of the storm are ...

Abstract: Visible, Very High Resolution (VHR) and Light Fine (LF) data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) frequently exhibit areas of light-toned gray shades termed ?anomalous gray shades? which appear most ...

Abstract: Examples of island barrier effects appearing in visual and infrared Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) data are shown and documented with selected conventional and research aircraft data. Effects discussed ...
