CIMSS Seminar Series:
Winds Group Presentations

Recent innovations in deriving atmospheric motion vectors at CIMSS

Steve Wanzong, Iliana Genkova, Feng Lu, Jeff Key, and Chris Velden

The seminar will review several areas of research ongoing at CIMSS in deriving atmospheric motion vectors from satellite data. Brief presentations will be given on deriving winds from simulated (GIFTS/HES) and real (GOES) sounder retrieval data (tracking height-resolved moisture fields), new techniques to correct satellite navigation, and an update on polar winds. These topics were recently presented at the 8th International Winds Workshop in Beijing.
