      <abstract>
        1996 Atlantic Tropical Storms: Views from the NOAA Satellites
is a technical report available from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).
Geographic coverage is the north Atlantic Ocean tropical storm basin. Land areas
include particularly the Caribbean islands and the eastern and southeastern
United States. This report, produced by NCDC in cooperation with the Tropical
Prediction Center (TPC), is a preliminary summary of the 1996 Atlantic
Hurricane Season. The report provides a synopsis of each named tropical storm
using textual information based on the TPC Preliminary Hurricane Reports
authored by Avila, et al, and remotely sensed and in-situ data received at
the NCDC. The satellite imagery for each storm was taken by the Geostationary
Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) or the Polar-orbiting Operational
Environmental Satellite (POES). Additional meteorological data for Hurricanes
Bertha and Fran, the two most important hurricanes affecting the U.S.
mainland, are also included. The graphical products include: NEXRAD Level III
Base Velocity, Base Reflectivity and Storm Total Precipitation; GOES Water
Vapor Movement Winds; and total precipitation from an extensive collection of
cooperative and National Weather Service stations.
