Relationships between 6.7 micrometer imagery and radiosonde-derived parametersThe relationships between water vapor images and various thermodynamic and kinematic patterns derived from ground-based data obtained on March 6-7, 1982 are investigated. The synoptic-scale characteristics of the observed image streaks are studied. Water vapor budgets were calculated from sonde data. Variations in black body temperatures are analyzed using water vapor budgets. The data reveal that the observed warm image streaks are caused by subsidence and horizontal flux divergence of vapor.
