Abstract
Abstract The Automatic Picture Transmission (or APT) System developed for weather satellites enables satellite data laboratories, such as the one at the Toronto International Airport, to prepare photographic mosaics covering almost the entire continent of North America, The mosaic can be completed within four hours after the satellite comes within range of approximately 2500 miles of the ground receiving station. One such mosaic is presented here. The cloud features are analyzed .with the aid of the meteorological charts available i n the forecast office. Conclusions drawn show that cloud patterns on the satellite photograph are readily associated 16th the features on the charts available in a forecast office. Conversely, the satellite photograph can be used as an aid in the analysis of these charts.
