Attention is given to the validation of meteorological satellite observing systems and to stereoscopic observations from meteorological satellites. Particular papers are presented on such topics as the comparison of cloud top heights measured by airborne lidar and TIROS-N image data, the determination of surface global radiation using Meteosat images and ground-based visibility measurements, multichannel improvements to satellite-derived global sea surface temperatures, validation of the Stratospheric Sounding Unit, and the international comparison of satellite winds. Also considered is tropical storm structure revealed by stereo photographs from Skylab, stereo imaging from polar orbit and synthetic stereo imaging, simultaneous measurements of sea surface temperature by GMS-1 and GMS-2, and real-time spectroscopic applications using the GOES operational satellites.
