Subjective evaluation of 12 hour satellite cloud prognoses / John Thomas, satellite meteorologist.: En57-44/81-032E-PDF

"Cloud prognosis charts are issued by the PWC Satellite Meteorologists every 6 hours and are valid at 00Z, 06Z, 12Z and 18 Z and are 12 hour forecasts of the clouds over B.C. During the period from July 2, 1981 to October 23, 1981, a subjective evaluation was made of the progs by the Satellite Meteorologist on shift. This meant that approximately one third of the progs were evaluated by the meteorologist who had done them. During this test period there were several long periods during which no images were received. The satellite images were examined during this period to give some insight into the meteorological significance of the scores."
