ADT

Recently, American meteorologist Vernon Dvorak, credited with having developed ADT in the 1970s,  passed away at the age of 100.  What is ADT? The Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) utilizes longwave-infrared, temperature measurements from geostationary satellites to estimate tropical cyclone (TC) intensity.  During day time, images in the visible spectrum were used while at night, the ocean would be observed using infrared images.
