F O R E W O R D

The Seventh Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography is sponsored by theAmerican Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Committee on SatelliteMeteorology and Oceanography. This conference is being held in conjunction with theNinth Conference on Middle Atmosphere.

This conference emphasizes papers related to: 1) tropical and monsoon meteorology,including preliminary results from the TOGA COARE experiment, 2) applications for theGlobal Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX), 3) use of satellite products in nowcasting, forecasting, and NWP/mesoscale model data, 4) climate studies involving retrievalor the use of lengthy time series of satellite data, 5) new sounding and retrievaltechniques, 6) physical and/or statistical retrieval methods using passive microwavemeasurements for retrieval of hydrological variables, 7) new results concerning oceanprocesses and the air-sea interface, and 8) future satellite systems.

Papers were solicited on all topics concerning basic and applied research on retrieval ofatmospheric, ocean, and land surface properties and the use of satellite data formeteorological & oceanographic purposes. Two special night session are planned forGOES NEXT update.

Joint sessions on Meteorology of the Lower Stratosphere and Satellite Retrieval for MiddleAtmosphere Application are being held. These joint sessions are expected to be bothmutually beneficial and productive.

The preprint volume is dedicated to the late William E. (Bill) Shenk and the late Henry E.Fleming. Bill Shenk, who lost his life in May 1993 was an early member of theNASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and pioneered a number of developments usingobservation from the geostationary satellite platforms and other experimental weathersatellites. Henry Fleming, who passed away in November, 1992, was an early memberof NOAA's weather satellite branch and played a leading role in developing fundamentalthermal sounding techniques used in NOAA's ongoing retrieval operations. Both Bill andHenry were well-known in the field of Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography and mademany valuable contributions to it.
