Cyclogenesis diagnosis and forecasting from satellite data / Akimov L.M., Rastorguev I.P., Neizhmak A.N. // Hydrometeorological Research and Forecasting, 2020, no. 2 (376),
pp. 60-78.

An approach to forecasting the occurrence of extratropical cyclones based on the interpretation of digital data from NOAA polar-orbiting meteorological satellites is presented. Data processing is performed using specialized HPTReeder software. Based on the analysis of the distribution of brightness temperature at the cloud top and on the underlying surface, the features of the reflected radiation spectra are determined for the basic cloud forms. An algorithm for processing raw data is developed. Diagnostic and prognostic rules are obtained for determining the current cyclogenesis and its short-term forecast based on digital satellite data. The presented methodology is focused on the use by departmental meteorological units in supporting state aviation under conditions of limited initial meteorological information.
