Relationship of cloudy systems to wind and vorticity fields / John Spagnol, meteorologist.: En57-44/79-004E-PDF
"Since one of the main forecast tools is the computer forecast of the 500 mb height field (with vorticity analysis of the wind field), it is important that the P/A be convinced that the initial field over the Pacific is accurate. This is best accomplished by use of the most reliable source of information over the Pacific--the GOES satellite image. The cloud formations seen on the satellite pictures are compared with the vorticity and height fields as seen on the analysis."
