Navy Tactical Applications Guide. Volume 6, Part 1. Tropics Weather Analysis and Forecast Applications.
Abstract
The Navy Tactical Applications Guide (NTAG), Volume 6, is devoted to regional weather analysis and forecast applications of meteorological satellite imagery in the tropics. Part 1 deals with operationally significant phenomena and effects in the tropics, excluding tropical cyclones. Part 2, to be published at a later date, will focus on tropical cyclone genesis and evolution in areas around the globe. The volume is organized into four regional areas: Tropical Atlantic Ocean, Tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean (EASTPAC), Tropical Western Pacific Ocean (WESTPAC), and Tropical Indian Ocean. In each section, synoptic-scale phenomena are discussed first, followed by mesoscale phenomena. A number of new analysis techniques, never before published, appear in this volume. The analysis techniques will be useful to Navy meteorologists aboard ships operating in coastal regions or in mid-ocean transit.
