Abstract: In this paper, the authors describe experimental forecasting tools developed from high-resolution satellite cloud composites. The satellite data were extracted from the new 5-km, hourly, global satellite database called ...

Abstract: GOES digital imagery has been collected and processed using new techniques over portions of the United States since March 1988. High spatial and temporal resolution satellite cloud composite climatologies (SCCCs) have been ...

Abstract: The relationship of the rainfall from convective clouds to area-time integrals determined from satellite infrared data using a fixed infrared-temperature threshold is investigated. Concurrent radar and rapid-scan satellite ...
