Abstract: Arguments are presented in support of an intermediate band-width rebroadcast service that would make geostationary satellite image data in digital form available frequently to a broader base of users. The appeal of locally ...

Abstract: Zonal wind errors in a series of numerical barotropic forecasts are discussed. A characteristic error is the growth of west winds in middle latitudes and their decay to the south. Momentum transport in the absence of ...

Abstract: Digital imagery is currently available from geostationary satellites and will be available from new polar orbiters in the near future. Stable, wide-range responses in two or more channels, all in digital form, present ...

Abstract: This survey paper explains currently applied procedures whereby operational products are formed from digitized satellite cloud pictures. Sufficient details are provided so that prospective users of the products may understand ...
