Abstract

Some possibilities of using microwave radiometric measurements from the EOS Aqua and GCOM-W1 satellites to study the influence of tropical waves in the Atlantic on cyclogenesis processes in the Gulf of Mexico by monitoring the spatial and temporal variability of water vapor fields in the gulf are illustrated. Examples of the use of satellite images of atmospheric humidity fields obtained from DMSP and EOS Aqua satellites are given to demonstrate the processes of transformation of tropical waves into Atlantic hurricanes Bonnie (1998), Frances (2004), and Ivan (2004).
