Description
Qunatative [sic] radiance measurements from NASA's ATS-3 geosynchronous satellite have been used to develop and test a statistical forecast method to predict air terminal weather over the very short range (0-6 hours) time period.

Description
Digital imagery from the SMS 2 geostationary satellite was recorded for analysis in support of the Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project. Imagery of five storms during the 1976 77 and 1977 78 seasons of the project were analyzed. Results show the highest precipitation and lowest cloud top temperatures below 35° C occur about one or two hours ahead of the surface cold front within the frontal band. Following the frontal passage an unstable convective orographic...

Description
Satellite photographs during the summer months frequently reveal a weather situation in which strong convective development is observed over the Rocky Mountains and several hundred kilometers to the east of the mountains, while the region immediately to the lee is essentially cloud free. It is proposed that an orographically induced mesoscale wave phenomenon may produce this situation.

Description
This study utilizes both an extensive set of observations and mesoscale model simulations to isolate and describe the important influences of complex terrain on Colorado Front Range winter storms, with an emphasis on snowfall distributions. Specifically, the interaction of various types of cold, low level air masses with topography and the larger-scale flow is described.
