Abstract
Abstract Experimental wind datasets were derived for two time periods (13–20 July and 24 August–10 September 1995) from GOES-8 observations processed at the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (UW CIMSS). The first dataset was focused on Tropical Storm Chantal, and the second dataset was focused on the multiple-storm environment that included Hurricanes Humberto, Iris, and Luis. Both datasets feature a processing and quality control strategy designed to optimize the quantity and content of geostationary satellite-derived winds in the vicinity of tropical cyclones. Specifically, the winds were extracted from high-density targets obtained from multispectral imagery, which included three water vapor bands (6.7, 7.0, and 7.3 μm), infrared, and visible. The Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) was used as the vehicle to determine the impact of these winds upon tropical cyclone track forecasts. During the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season the...
