Tropical Cyclone Satellite Images in Lagrangian Coordinates
Abstract
The purpose of the work reported here was to produce a videotape of Hurricane Ignacio (1979) that resembled time-lapse photography, except that the successive images were in the Lagrangian frame instead of the usual Eulerian frame. Procedures and programs are described for taking the original satellite images of the storm, finding the storm, centers, rotating the images the proper amount, and displaying them in succession for copying to videotape using special hardware.
