DESCRIPTION:
Santurette is in daily contact with operational forecasters, and he regularly organizes workshops dedicated to French operational forecasters. He has taught at various national and international training courses for using satellite data in weather forecasting.Patrick Santurette is the current Head of Météo-France Marine and Oceanographic department after being head of th
In particular, they concentrate on the close relationship between satellite imagery and the potential vorticity fields in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. 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. These applications are illustrated with color images based on real meteorological situations. In this practical guide, Santurette and Georgiev show how to interpret water vapor patterns in terms of dynamical processes in the atmosphere and their relation to diagnostics available from weather prediction models
"includes step-by-step pedagogy, which should be useful to {operational weather forecasters in training, and numerous full-color illustrations based on real meteorological situations."--Weatherwise
Well Written guide to using WV Imagery George R. Kasica This volumes is well written and a good hands on manual for use operationally and as a reference as well.. Best for Meteorologist As an enviro scientist, I found this volume just the right challange for an old hand whose weather forecasting abilities where limited to Polynesian seafaring, probabilities, the Farmer's Almanac and a stick of cedar nailed to my garden fence- when water vapor is present, the stick bends, etc. THIS BOOK IS FOR THOSE OF US HUNGERING FOR SATELLITE INTERPRETATIONS OF LAYER WATER VAPOR, RADIANCE.WITHOUT A FUNDAMENT IN METEOROLOGY, I CANNOT SUPPORT PURCHASE. However, if one does have knowled. "Weather Analysis book" according to Faye. Book arrived in good shape, packaged excellantand, just what I wanted for a gift for my son. He really likes it, so thank you very much.From- Faye
