A note entitled "Observations of anvil reflectivity at 3.9 µm as viewed from GOES imagery" has been submitted to Monthly Weather Review.  Research on the use of radar and satellite images for precipitation estimation are listed under the heading "Satellite/Radar."  This upcoming quarter we plan to begin an investigation into the use of hourly surface observations and 12-hourly upper-air observations to estimate a maximum potential rainfall for convective  storms.  This is the initial step toward developing an algorithm that includes satellite and radar data.
