Abstract: This paper describes how the strength of thunderstorm gut fronts can frequently be determined from the satellite-derived speed of the clouds associated with the gust front and the appearance of the cloud patterns on the ...

Abstract: Satellite imagery shows that extensive areas of radiation fog and stratus dissipate from their outer edges inward. It is proposed that an inward mixing process is at least partially responsible for this inward erosion. The ...

Abstract: The first of the next-generation series of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) is scheduled for launch in 2015. The new series of GOES will not have an infrared (IR) sounder dedicated to acquiring ...

Abstract: The first of the next-generation series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES-R) is scheduled for launch in the 2015 time frame. One of the primary instruments on GOES-R, the Advanced Baseline Imager ...

Abstract: The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), designated to be one of the instruments on a future Geo-stationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series, will introduce a new era for U.S. geostationary environmental remote ...

Abstract: The complex combination of synoptic and mesoscale interactions, topographic influences, and large population densities poses a multitude of challenging problems to winter weather forecasters throughout the eastern United ...

Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) measurements from the Earth Observing System's (EOS's) Aqua satellite enable global monitoring of the distribution of ...
