Abstract: The high-resolution satellite imagery presently available from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) gives us a unique view of convective activity. This paper addresses some of the mesoscale phenomena, ...

Abstract: In the spring of 1994, the first of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) next generation of geostationary satellites, GOES-I, is scheduled for launch. The introduction of this major component of ...

Abstract: Satellite images are presented to illustrate an interesting interaction that occurred between a severe thunderstorm and a mesoscale feature that originated in its nearby environment. Immediately following that interaction, ...

Abstract: Clustering is used to enhance mesoscale meteorological detail in retrievals produced from satellite sounding measurements. By placing sounding fields-of-view (FOVs) into groups of similar measurements, mesoscale details ...

Abstract: During the late afternoon and early evening of 6 June 1990, a series of severe thunderstorms produced nine tornadoes and numerous incidents of large hail on the High Plains of eastern Colorado. While the morning synoptic ...

Abstract: Blackbody radiation at 3.9 µm increases rapidly with temperature. This fact suggests a potential application by fire weather meteorologists of the 3.9-µm imagery data provided by the new GOES-8 weather satellite. The ability ...

Abstract: GOES-8 visible and infrared cloud frequency composites have been created from imagery collected during June, July, and August for the years 1996?99 over northern Florida. These cloud frequency composites are unique because ...
