I never fully retired in 2011 and continue to publish original research through my COMET co-workers in Boulder, Colorado. The COMET® Program (http://www.comet.ucar.edu/) has been turning this research into
training modules since 2005. There are still many years of effort to go but a
lot has been accomplished.
The “Satellite Palette” is sometimes called
“Satellite Feature Identification”. The palette shows how art can be applied to
satellite meteorology to better understand the real atmosphere. All of the
modules are quite free- there are no conditions. Access to all of this
educational material only requires your email and a unique password that you
make up. COMET is an enlightening treasure!

The module just published is “Inferring
Three Dimensions from Water Vapour Imagery” and it introduces a new way to
depict and use water vapour imagery. This has been a goal for a decade but my
buddies at COMET turned it into a reality. The first ever image created using
these ideas is shown above. We have improved on this first try. I invite you to take a look. The module is not
too technical and it certainly is fun as it reveals that the atmosphere and the
coffee in your cup are really just fluids!
Stay tuned for more modules, the “Radar
Palette” and my research on performance measurement… it may be decades before
all of this gets done so do not hold your breadth.
