The Advanced Dvorak Technique: Continued Development of an Objective Scheme to Estimate Tropical Cyclone Intensity Using Geostationary Infrared Satellite Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclones are becoming an increasing menace to society as populations grow in coastal regions. Forecasting the intensity of these often-temperamental weather systems can be a real challenge, especially if the true ...
Tropical Cyclone Convection and Intensity Analysis Using Differenced Infrared and Water Vapor Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique to identify and quantify intense convection in tropical cyclones (TCs) using bispectral, geostationary satellite imagery is explored. This technique involves differencing the water vapor (WV) and infrared window ...
The Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) for Estimating Tropical Cyclone Intensity: Update and New Capabilities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe advanced Dvorak technique (ADT) is used operationally by tropical cyclone forecast centers worldwide to help estimate the intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) from operational geostationary meteorological ...
Trend Analysis with a New Global Record of Tropical Cyclone Intensity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he historical global ?best track? records of tropical cyclones extend back to the mid-nineteenth century in some regions, but formal analysis of these records is encumbered by temporal heterogeneities in the data. This is ...
The Impact of Multispectral GOES-8 Wind Information on Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Track Forecasts in 1995. Part I: Dataset Methodology, Description, and Case Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-based remote sensing has long been recognized as an important method to reconnoiter oceanic tropical cyclones due to the scarcity of in situ observations. Beyond the standard qualitative applications offered by ...
Development of an Objective Scheme to Estimate Tropical Cyclone Intensity from Digital Geostationary Satellite Infrared Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The standard method for estimating the intensity of tropical cyclones is based on satellite observations (Dvorak technique) and is utilized operationally by tropical analysis centers around the world. The technique relies ...
An Evaluation of Advanced Dvorak Technique–Derived Tropical Cyclone Intensity Estimates during Extratropical Transition Using Synthetic Satellite Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t is known that both Dvorak technique and advanced Dvorak technique?derived intensity estimates for tropical cyclones during extratropical transition are less reliable because the empirical relationships between cloud ...
