Discussion Topics
for Data Integration
Superimposed/transparent radar
and satellite overlays
- Is this a good idea given the
very basic differences in the processes being sensed ?
Storm Diagnosis and Short term
Prediction
- Improve radar estimates of storm
height with satellite data.
Near-Storm Environment
- Combine regional observations
with satellite-derived quantities pertinent to short-term forecasting of
local storms.
Storm Top
- Investigate signatures at cloud
top for connection with radar data and storm morphology.
- Anvil expansion rate as a proxy
for storm-top divergence ??
Precipitation Estimation
- Add additional satellite data/information
to QPI algorithms. How can the information be tailored to CWA scale ?
Multi-sensor wind analyses (88D,
GOES, DMSP, profiler etc.)
- Understanding the inherent time
and spatial differences
- Need to learn to use them together
before integrating into merged product.
