The Impact of Satellite-Derived Atmospheric Motion Vectors on Mesoscale Forecasts over Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropospheric motions can be inferred from geostationary satellites by tracking clouds and water vapor in sequential imagery. These atmospheric motion vectors (AMV) have been operationally assimilated into global models for ...
meeting summary: Fifth International Winds Workshop
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The International Winds Workshops interact with the Co?ordination Group for Meteorological Satellites with respect to important issues related to the derivation and utilization of wind information based on the imagery from ...
Impact of GMS-5 and GOES-9 Satellite-Derived Winds on the Prediction of a NORPEX Extratropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of satellite-derived wind observations on the prediction of a mid?Pacific Ocean cyclone during the North Pacific Experiment (NORPEX, 14 Jan?27 Feb 1998) is assessed using a four-dimensional variational (4DVAR) ...
The North Pacific Experiment (NORPEX-98): Targeted Observations for Improved North American Weather Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objectives and preliminary results of an interagency field program, the North Pacific Experiment (NORPEX), which took place between 14 January and 27 February 1998, are described. NORPEX represents an effort to directly ...
Nasa's Tropical Cloud Systems and Processes Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In July 2005, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration investigated tropical cyclogenesis, hurricane structure, and intensity change in the eastern North Pacific and western Atlantic using its ER-2 high-altitude ...
