| Summary: | Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. === The results of three quasi-objective techniques for
enhancing the accuracy of 24-hour cloud cover forecasts
in sparse data areas, using satellite data and numerically-
produced analyses and prognoses, are presented. All
three of the techniques involve the modification of the
analyzed 500-mb relative vorticity, as based on the satellite-
observed cloud patterns and the associated
changes to the prognostic fields of 500-mb relative vorticity. |
