Using a fuzzy scheme helps to account for these uncertainties. Related papers are on-line. The algorithm has been tested in real-time and is now included in a tornado prediction neural network. For more information on the tornado prediction neural network, see the website on tornado research . I have done quite a bit of work in developing large scale filters for weather data and ensuring that they retain the performance needed for real-time applications.

Satellite Image Processing I am currently working on developing an algorithm that will identify and track storms on satellite images. The poor spatial and temporal resolution of satellite infrared data precludes many possible approaches. My first attempt is described here . The segmentation in that approach is very simple. So, I implemented watershed segmentation because the watersheds have a high physical significance, as the base of an updraft.
