Abstract
Interpretation of the Tiros cloud pictures, taken from an altitude of 725 km above the Earth, depends upon the cloud brightness, texture, structure, pattern, shape, and the dimensions of the patterns and shapes. Methods of determining the location of the pictures and rectifying them to a suitable scale to obtain dimensions, patterns and shapes are discussed. Transmission to the weather services, the use of grid overlays, the production of rectified photographic mosaics, and a cloud identification guide are described. Methods of automatically obtaining brightness, which may prove feasible for routine use, are shown.
