Utilization of GOES Satellite-Derived Wind Data for Tropical Cyclone Predictability Experiments; Final rept. 1 Apr 2005-31 Mar 2008

摘要

The overarching goal was to prepare geostationary satellite atmospheric motion vectors (AMV) for numerical model assimilation experiments and test for improvements in the NAVY global numerical model (NOGAPS) forecasts of tropical cyclones (TC) using targeting information provided by NRL-MRY. This was the primary motivation for this investigation.
