Abstract: The Mississippi River floodplain in the states of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana presents a readily discernible feature in weather satellite images. This floodplain appears in the spring and early summer ...

Abstract: A method for displaying sounding and cloud information in a composite image is described. Examples are shown to illustrate how a forecaster may use a time sequence of these images to monitor changes in atmospheric moisture ...

Abstract: Derived product imagery (DPI) is a method of presenting quantitative meteorological information, derived from satellite measurements, as a color-coded image at single-pixel resolution. Its intended use is as animated ...

Abstract: Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are derived using measurements from the new generation of imaging instruments on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES). The National Environmental Satellite, Data and ...

Abstract: Imager channel 3 (at 6.7 ?m) on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) is particularly sensitive to water vapor in the atmosphere. Channel-3 data from both clear and cloudy regions are used in a new ...

Abstract: A technique for interactively producing sea-surface temperatures (SST)from VAS multispectral radiance observations and displaying the derived field is outlined. High-resolution composite images using data from several times ...

Abstract: Spatial and temporal changes in the vertical distribution of atmospheric water vapor are investigated during a period following the intrusion of cold continental air over the Gulf of Mexico, during the Gulf of Mexico ...

Abstract: Spatial and temporal changes of atmospheric water vapor and surface wind speeds are investigated for a period following an intrusion of cold continental air over the Gulf of Mexico, during the Gulf of Mexico Experiment ...

Abstract: This paper utilizes a severe thunderstorm case from 24 July 2000 to demonstrate the relevance of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) rapid-scan imagery and sounder data in the short-range forecasting ...
