Satellite Interpretation.

Abstract

This Technical Note describes cloud formations as seen on enhanced infrared and visible GOES satellite photographs and attempts to relate the meteorological causes for these formations. Some of the latest techniques developed by NESS have been included. This Technical Note is designed to be used as a base reference for comprehensive training in the analysis, interpretation, and application of satellite data in making forecasts. (Author)
