Objective Analysis and Prediction Techniques - 1985
Abstract
This report summarizes weather research in several technical areas; in numerical weather prediction, use of supplemental moisture information in global optimum interpolation analysis of humidity, development of a relocatable limited area model; in mesoscale forecasting, FOUS guidance error study, forecast guidance displays; in boundary layer meteorology, specialized computer programs for studies of atmospheric refractive index, windflow model, troposcatter raytrace models; in radar meteorology, detection of synoptic scale wind anomalies, gust front detection, 3-D cloud and precipitation mapping, icing detection, severe storm indicators; in satellite meteorology, development of microprocessor-based satellite data ingest system, system design (hardware, software) for McIDAS upgrade; in climatology, data processing and display studies for statistical properties of cumulus cloud structures, spatial/temporal cloud cover distributions from conventional observations, rainfall rate recurrence statistics and cumulus cloud vs. satellite brightness values.
