Objective Analysis and Prediction Techniques - 1983.

Abstract

This report summarizes weather research conducted in several technical areas: in numerical weather prediction, development of a multivariate, global statistical of analysis system, generalization of the Machenbauer initialization method, objective analysis with Hough vectors; in mesoscale forecasting error analysis of LFM-II forecasts, development of forecast guidance and enhanced manually digitized radar (MDR) displays; in boundary layer meteorology, specialized computer programs for studies of wind shear, atmospheric attenuation effects on remote sensing, atmospheric chemical dispersion modeling, fog modeling, microwave refractive structure determination; in radar meteorology, study of single-Doppler detection of synoptic-scale wind, relative storm motions, detection of gust fronts, sub-storm scale motions, development of mesocyclone detection and classification algorithm, construction of CO2 Doppler lidar; in satellite meteorology, development of VAS data processing software, implementation on McIDAS of Air Force operational nephanalysis, study correlating MDR data with satellite imagery, development of microprocessor-based satellite data ingest system, maintenance and operation of AFGL McIDAS.
