Enhancements to the Cross Correlation Technique for Extrapolating Geostationary Satellite Imagery
This report documents enhancements made to the cross correlation technique for extrapolating geostationary satellite imagery up to five hours into the future. Because it requires only two geostationary images to utilize the technique, it satisfies an important Air Force requirement to be able to forecast the distribution of cloud in data restricted environments. The enhancements referred to above include techniques to prevent 'terrain advection, ' reduce border contamination, and to minimize excessive smoothing of cloud features. In addition, an interactive Graphic User Interface has been developed to facilitate use of the technique by operational weather forecasters.
