Abstract/Description

Various attempts have been made to give up-to-the-minute meteorological observations to forecasters. However, the meteorologist's inability to assimilate all the real-time data is a significant barrier to the improvement of short-term forecasts and warnings. Historically, failure to resolve this problem has plagued mesoscale forecast experiments. This article discusses the joint effort of NWS, NESS, NASA, and SSEC to develop a system to aid the forecaster in evaluating data.

Additional Information

This paper is an appendix to the report prepared by Dr. Carl C. Norton for the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison titled, Centralized Storm Information System (CSIS). This paper by Drs. Mosher and Schaefer was originally presented at the 9th Conference on Aerospace and Aeronautical Meteorology held in Omaha, NE, from June 6-9, 1983. Dr. Mosher was not affiliated with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at the time the paper was first given and not when it was published in this report from 1985. The full report by Dr. Norton was a final report to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA-CR-175898) and was numbered SSEC No.85.04.N1 by the University of Wisconsin. The presentation by Dr. Mosher was a numbered preprint (A83-38701 17-47) and was given at the conference sponsored by the American Meteorological Society in 1983. It was also published in the proceedings from that conference on pages 73-78.
