The Development of Methods of Numerical Diagnostic Analysis of Series of Satellite Photographs.

Abstract

A research study to develop methods of predicting mesoscale wind and temperature fields is reported on. Two mesoscale weather patterns were studied by an adaptation of optimization principles. Hourly surface pressure and infrared satellite cloud measurements were used as input to the updating scheme. The results shown here illustrate mesoscale properties of the circulation and vertical temperature distribution. (Author)
