Analysis of SMS/GOES Film Data.

Abstract

This report presents the first attempt by the Atmospheric Science Laboratory to objectively analyze SMS/GOES image data. Since only image data were available, a manual registration technique was used whereby prominent geographic locations in the northern hemisphere were used as landmarks. Development of proper scanning parameters, validation of the grey scale on the images, and choosing of proper smoothing parameters are discussed. A limited analysis of the meteorological factors relevant to the final data is made.
