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

Abstract

Work under this contract involving weather inference from GOES data and weather prediction is summarized. The research involved extrapolation and advection of meteorological events, a statistical study relating GOES data to surface thunderstorm observations, and investigating satellite indicators of short-term changes in surface visibility.
