Abstract: A prototype of NOAA's proposed Green Thumb agricultural information dissemination system was demonstrated at five different sites across Wisconsin during the period July?October 1979. Those viewing the system were asked ...

Abstract: In this study, the effect of variations in the time and space resolutions of satellite images on satellite-derived drift winds is examined. Rapid-scan satellite data are used as a basis for computing cloud-tracked wind ...

Abstract: In this study we explore the accuracy, representativeness and reproducibility of tracer winds in the area of the 1974 GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE). These winds were generated by tracking clouds in Synchronous ...

Abstract: To examine whether the addition of satellite data to forecasting procedures helps forecasters make better forecasted we studied a meteorological consulting farm and its clients before and after satellite data were used in ...

Abstract: An evolutionary view is sought Of a single cloud cluster. This cluster was chosen less for intensity than for comprehensive observations. The aim is to describe the principal outside controls on the cluster, including its ...

Abstract: The clients of a meteorological consulting firm were studied to determine the effects of weather forecasts on their operations. We determined what weather conditions triggered certain operational decisions in three groups ...

Abstract: A technique is described for inferring vertical mass circulations within and around cloud clusters in the tropics. Following Sikdar and Suomi (1972), we model deep convection in terms of three layers?two active and one ...

Abstract: Sea temperature anomalies which departed from the December climatic mean by approximately 2C off the coast of Newfoundland were inserted into the NCAR six-layer, 5° mesh, general circulation model of the atmosphere in order ...
