This book was released on 1998 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proposed study examines the potential use of satellite passive microwave rainfall measurements derived from Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) radiometers onboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) constellation to improve eastern North Pacific Ocean tropical cyclone intensity change forecasting techniques. Relationships between parameters obtained from an operational SSM/I-based rainfall measuring algorithm and 12-, 24-, 36-, 48-, 60- and 72-hour intensity changes from best track data records are examined in an effort to identify statistically significant predictors of intensity change. Correlations between rainfall parameters and intensity change are analyzed using tropical cyclone data from three years, 1992 to 1994. Stratifications based upon tropical cyclone intensity, rate of intensity change, climatology, translation, landfall and synoptic-scale environmental forcing variables are studied to understand factors that may affect a statistical relationship between rainfall parameters and intensity change. The predictive skill of statistically significant rainfall parameters is assessed by using independent tropical cyclone data from another year, 1995. In addition, case studies on individual tropical cyclones are conducted to gain insight on predictive performance and operational implementation issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a preliminary report on use of satellite cloud imagery to forecast tropical cyclone movements. The spatial distribution of cloudiness implicitly indicates information about recent or ongoing processes in the atmosphere. Assuming that as with cloud distribution represents a set of initial conditions, it is reasonable to expect that forecast information can be extracted from these initial conditions. The problem with using satellite imagery as a self-contained forecast tool has been the difficulty in handling the data processing. The Man-computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS) is a flexible data management system the advantages of both human decision-making computer. With McIDAS it is relatively simple to assemble composites of images of storms with similar displacement characteristics. These composites reinforce the cloud or cloudless features common to the individual cases and mute randomly distributed clouds. Investigation of typhoon cloudiness in the Pacific indicate that there are different characteristic cloud distributions preceding storms that recurve and those that stay on westerly tracks. In particular there is a confluence of outflow cloudiness from the storm with the clouds of a mid-latitude frontal system in the case of low-latitude westward moving storms in the Philippine and South China Seas. Characteristic cloud patterns associated with other types of storm systems are also suggested by the analysis.

This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A better understanding of the role mesoscale convective systems (MCS) play in the formation stages of tropical cyclones will increase the ability to predict their occurrence and motion. This thesis employs high resolution satellite imagery to observe the Interaction between MCSs and their environment. Specifically, thirteen cases of tropical disturbances that eventually developed Into tropical cyclones are analyzed to determine the role of MCSs in increasing the system organization. Following two conceptual models developed during the Tropical Cyclone Motion (TCM-93) mini-field experiment, each tropical cyclone is classified according to the relative importance of MCS activity to its development. Both conceptual models are verified through analysis and a third model is created to account for tropical cyclone developments that share features of the previous two models. An alternate approach is proposed for determining tropical system organization using only visible and infrared satellite imagery.

This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project tested a novel method that uses satellite imagery to correct phase errors in the initial state for numerical weather prediction, applied to hurricane forecasts. The system was tested on hurricanes Guillermo (1997), Felicia (1997) and Iniki (1992). We compared the performance of the system with and without phase correction to a procedure that uses bogus data in the initial state, similar to current operational procedures. The phase correction keeps the hurricane on track in the analysis and is far superior to a system without phase correction. Compared to operational procedure, phase correction generates somewhat worse 3-day forecast of the hurricane track, but better forecast of intensity. It is believed that the phase correction module would work best in the context of 4-dimensional variational data assimilation. Very little modification to 4DVar would be required.Louis, Jean-FrancoisGoddard Space Flight CenterNUMERICAL WEATHER FORECASTING; HURRICANES; PHASE ERROR; SATELLITE IMAGERY; ATMOSPHERIC MODELS; SATELLITE SOUNDING; APPLICATIONS PROGRAMS (COMPUTERS); CALIBRATING; RADIOSONDES
