Objective Analysis and Prediction Techniques - 1984
Abstract
This report summarizes weather research in several technical areas: in numerical weather prediction, development and joint test of two objective analysis methods (optimum interpolation and fitting procedure) for AFGL global spectral models, improved specification of moisture initial conditions, study of relocatable limited area models; in mesoscale forecasting, error analysis of LFM-II forecasts during winter seasons; in boundary layer meteorology specialized computer programs for studies of tropospheric scatter propagation, atmospheric chemical dispersion modeling, microwave refractive structure determination; in radar meteorology, study of single-Doppler detection of synoptic-scale wind anomalies, detection algorithm for gust front shear, development of mesocyclone detection-classification algorithm, detection of mesocyclone percursors, detection of aircraft icing regions; in satellite meteorology, study of satellite viewing angle bias in RTNEPH IR data, study of MDR data correlation with satellite imagery, development of microprocessor-based satellite data ingest system, system design (hardware, software) for McIDAs upgrade; in climatology, data processing studies for vertical temperature- density profiles for MIL STD 210 revision, data products for investigating VHR satellite sensor capabilities for improved small cumulus detection.
