1) Introduction
-
The objectives of this session are:
- A.) Review techniques for deriving satellite winds (Atmospheric Motion Vectors).
- B.) Provide details on AWIPS display of GOES high density winds.
- C.) Highlight latest winds research activities.
2) Training Session Options:
Create a directory, then download the audio playback file (it is about 274 MB in size) from the following site into that directory:
ftp://rammftp.cira.colostate.edu/SHyMet/course_materials/winds_2006jan17_audio.exe
OR
ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/visit/winds_2006jan17_audio.exe
After extracting the files into that directory click on the visitplay.bat file to start the lesson.
