Title: Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography, 6th, Atlanta, GA, Jan. 5-10, 1992, Preprints

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6288063

The present volume on satellite meteorology and oceanography discusses cloud retrieval from collocated IR sounder data and imaging systems, satellite retrievals of marine stratiform cloud systems, multispectral analysis of satellite observations of smoke and dust, and image and graphical analysis of principal components of satellite sounding channels. Attention is given to an evaluation of results from classification retrieval methods, the use of TOVS radiances, estimation of path radiance on the basis of remotely sensed data, and a reexamination of SST as a predictor for tropical storm intensity. Topics addressed include optimal smoothing of GOES VAS for upper-atmosphere thermal waves, obtaining cloud motion vectors from polar orbiting satellites, the use of cloud relative animation in the analysis of satellite data, and investigations of a polar low using geostationary satellite data.
