Satellite imagery and the use of the J.J. George technique for maritime cyclones over the Pacific / Louis Legal, satellite meteorologist.: En57-44/81-026E-PDF
"The J.J. George (1960) method for predicting maritime cyclones is very familiar to Atlantic Coast forecasters; however this technique has never been used to any extent on the West Coast. ... The objectives of this paper are as follows: (1) to review the J.J. George method; (2) to abstract the satellite applications work done by W.J. Younker in Anchorage, Alaska; (3) to present a Pacific deepening precipitation graph for use with 1000-500 mb thickness instead of temperature; and (4) to demontrate the method with a case study. "
