A Comparison of Satellite-Derived, Low-Level and Cirrus-Level Winds with Conventional Wind ObservationsSource: Journal of Applied Meteorology:;1973:;volume( 012 ):;issue: 008::page 1416Author:Poteat, Kenneth O.

Abstract: The suitability of satellite-derived, low-level and cirrus-level winds for application to operational weather analyses in low latitudes is established. It is shown that satellite-derived, low-level winds compare very favorably with conventional data near the gradient level, and somewhat more favorably with 2000-ft than with 850-mb winds. Satellite-derived, cirrus-level winds compared favorably with 200-mb data.
