Toward an Advanced Sounder on GOES?

by on February 19th, 2010

Jeff Braun New Training Session from COMET! Satellite imagery and soundings have been an integral tool in the weathercaster tool belt over the past four decades and continue critical support for operational meteorology and monitoring of our ever changing weather patterns. Some products however, particularly those from today’s geostationary sounders are under-utilized in the forecasting community. This Continue Reading
