Description: Weather Analysis and Forecasting: Applying Satellite Water Vapor Imagery and Potential Vorticity Analysis Georgiev, Christo and Santurette, Patrick Product Overview Weather Analysis and Forecasting is a practical guide to using potential vorticity fields and water vapor imagery from satellites to elucidate complex weather patterns and train meteorologists to improve operational forecasting. In particular, it details the use of the close relationship between satellite imagery and the potential vorticity fields in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. It shows how to interpret water vapor patterns in terms of dynamical processes in the atmosphere and their relation to diagnostics available from weather prediction models.The book explores topics including: a dynamical view of synoptic development; the interpretation problem of satellite water vapor imagery; practical use of water vapor imagery and dynamical fields; significant water vapor imagery features associated with synoptic dynamical structures; and use of water vapor imagery for assessing NWP model behavior and improving forecasts. Applications are illustrated with color images based on real meteorological situations.The book's step-by-step pedagogy makes this an essential training manual for forecasters in meteorological services worldwide, and a valuable text for graduate students in atmospheric physics and satellite meteorology. Shows how to analyze current satellite images for assessing weather models' behavior and improving forecasts Provides step-by-step pedagogy for understanding and interpreting meteorological processes Includes full-color throughout to highlight "real- world" models, patterns, and examples Read more Details Publisher : Academic Press; 1st edition (June 16, 2005) Language : English Paperback : 200 pages ISBN-10 : 0126192626 ISBN-13 : 29 Item Weight : 1.34 pounds Dimensions : 8.25 x 0.25 x 10.75 inches Best Sellers Rank: #8,656,417 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #1,499 in Geophysics (Books) #4,993 in Rivers in Earth Science #5,758 in Weather (Books) #1,499 in Geophysics (Books) #4,993 in Rivers in Earth Science We have been selling used books since 2012, and we've learned that the most important thing is doing good business.
