Abstract: Low-level, ATS-3 satellite wind estimates are compared with values of wind direction and speed interpolated from analyses based on research aircraft observations of a synoptic tropical wave of moderate intensity on 26 July ...

Abstract: An initial experiment has been conducted to verify geostationary-satellite-derived cloud motion wind estimates with in situ aircraft wind velocity measurements. The experiment was conducted during December 1972 over the ...

Abstract: The innate capability to perceive 3-dimensional stereo imagery has been exploited to present multidimensional meteorological data fields. Variations on an artificial stereo technique first discussed by Pichel et al (1973) ...

Abstract: Perspective display techniques can be applied to meteorological data sets to aid in their interpretation. Examples of a perspective display procedure applied to satellite and aircraft visible and infrared image pairs and ...

Abstract: Observations of the mean cloud top temperature and height of the eye wall of two tropical cyclones, using GOES infrared and stereoscopic measurements, presented an opportunity to estimate the storm's eye wall tropopause ...

Abstract: GOES stereoscopy is applied to the study of severe squall line cells. Short interval (3 min) GOES stereoscopic data from the 2?3 May 1979 SESAME case were used to measure cloud top heights of growing storms as a function ...

Abstract: A massively parallel processor (MPP) computer has made it practical to do automatic stereo analysis of cloud-top heights from stereoscopic satellite image pairs. The automatic analysis is of equivalent quality to manual ...

Abstract: An experiment is in progress to verify geostationary satellite derived cloud motion wind estimates by in situ aircraft wind velocity measurements. One or more low-level aircraft equipped with Inertial Navigation Systems ...

Abstract: A 5-year aircraft experiment to verify the quality of satellite cloud winds over oceans using in situ aircraft Inertial Navigation System wind measurements has been completed. The final results show that satellite measured ...

Abstract: Mesoscale wind fields have been determined for a mature hurricane with high spatial and temporal resolution, continuity, and coherency. These wind fields, near the tropopause in the inner core and at low levels inside the ...
