Photo/cover caption : perspective view of Hurricane Allen showing the eye, central dense overcast, and intense convective regions. The image was generated at the Goddard Space Flight Center using the Atmospheric and Oceanic Information Processing System (AOIPS-II) by Dr. A. F. Hasler and Harold Pierce using 1 km resolution Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) visible and IR imagery from the NOAA polar orbiting satellite. Apparent height in this image is proportional to the IR radiance. New software techniques allow selective perspectives, variable illumination angles, and image sequences representing a low-angle simulated aircraft circumnavigation of the hurricane.

Includes bibliographies and index.
