ABSTRACT

The evaluation of water vapor (WV) images taken by satellite-borne radiometers has become an essential source of data in modern meteorology. The analysis of structure displacements within sections of WV images is an effective way to get horizontal components of wind vectors. In contrast to intermediate-level and high-level clouds, the height assignment of displacement vectors connected with cloud-free WV structures needs additional information from atmospheric profiles. Nevert...
