Using Satellite-Based Remotely-Sensed Data to Determine Tropical Cyclone Size and Structure Characteristics

Abstract

The primary objective is to continue to use innovative signal-processing methodologies to extract tropical cyclone (TC) structure information, including genesis likelihood from clouds clusters, intensity information, and wind field structure information from remote-sensing platforms in oceanic regions where in situ observations are sparse. This information is used to develop objective, accurate analyses of tropical cyclone wind structure and intensity.
