Studies in Objective Forecasting of Mesoscale Weather Using an Interactive Computer System.

Abstract

GOES satellite imagery was used in conjunction with surface hourly weather observations in order to asccertain the ability of the satellite data to discriminate thunderstorm occurrence in regions with some cloudiness. Research was also conducted to study the ability of a vertically-integrated wind field to correctly advect observed surface frontal features. (Author)
