Optimizing Voyage Plan in way of Persian Gulf and Red Sea Using Meteorology and Oceanography Satellite Data

The weather forecast by satellite data is a good guideline for assessment of voyage planning route in order to have safe and economic voyage for shipping. ISO15016, "Guidelines for the assessment of speed and performance by analysis of speed trial data", has been developed by the working group ISO/TC 8/SC 9/WG 2. This paper presents the effects of wave speed & direction, wind speed and directio...

Controls of the sounding points in space-based GPS=LEO meteorology

GPS radio occultation technique has been developed resulting from remote sensing applications in planetary atmospheric limb sounding pioneered by JPL and Stanford University in 1960s. Since the launch of the experimental satellite MicroLab1 on April 3 1995, the primary results from this Low Earth orbiter (LEO) satellite demonstrated potential scienti:c values and practical signi:cance of this i...

Prediction of Satellite Cloud Patterns Using Spatial Fourier Transforms

A method for forecasting filtered satellite cloud patterns using spatial Fourier transforms is devised. Two prediction formulae are formulated: one is in effect a forecast of "persistence" of phase speed of the Fourier components in addition to an exponential extrapolationoftheir intensity; the other is only a forecast of "persistence" of phase speed of the Fourier components. Error analysis in...
