Improving 24-hour cloud forecasts by manually-modified numerical prognoses based on satellite observations

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 techni...

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. 2012-11-13T23:51:30Z 2012-11-13T23:51:30Z 1973-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/16649 en_US Monterey, California.
