Modification of Parameterized Latent Heat Release Estimates Using Unenhanced and Enhanced Satellite Imagery.

Abstract

The objectives of this research are 1) to compare the parameterized latent heat release estimates obtained from the SESAME I data set with observed precipitation values and radar fields. 2) to test three procedures for utilizing satellite cloud images to modify these conventional latent heating estimates, and 3) to propose a procedure which combines latent heat release calculations and satellite imagery and whose results exhibit the best comparison with observational data forms.
