NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS 

 National Environmental Satellite Service Series 



The National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS) Is responsible for the establishment and operation 

 of the environmental satellite systems of NOAA, 



Publication of a report in NOAA Technical Report NESS series will not preclude later publication in an 

 expanded or modified form' in scientific journals. NESS series of NOAA Technical Reports is a continua- 

 tion of, and retains the consecutive numbering sequence of, the former series, ESSA Technical Report 

 National Environmental Satellite Center (NESC), and of the earlier series. Weather Bureau Meteorological 

 Satellite Laboratory (MSL) Report. Reports 1 through 39 are listed in publication NESC 56 of this ser- 

 ies. 



Reports in the series are available from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), U.S. 

 Department of Commerce, Sills Bldg., 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161, in paper copy or mi- 

 crofiche form. Order by accession number, when given, in parentheses. Beginning with 64, printed 

 copies of the reports, if available, can be ordered through the Superintendent of Doctjments, U.S. Gov- 

 ernment Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Prices given on request from the Superintendent of Docu- 

 ments or NTIS.
