3 (U) PART C: METSAT DISCUSSION:
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY REFLECTS INCREASING BTJ MOISTURE OVER NERN AFRICA
AS RIDGE AXIS TRANSLATES EASTWARD. CURRENTLY, BROAD RIDGE EXISTS
FROM LIBYA/EGYPT BORDER SE TO NRN SUDAN. PFJ ENTERS MED OVR ITALY
AND REMAINS FAIRLY ZONAL ACROSS ERN MED/SYRIA THEN NE OVR THE CASPIAN
SEA REFLECTING L/WV TROF FROM UPPER LOW OVR BLACK SEA (45N/30E) XTNDG
SE OVR CNTRL IRAQ. BKN TO OVC SC IN THE ERN MED BEHIND THE SFC FRONT
CONTINUES TO ADVECT ESE. SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN CLOUDINESS OCCURS
AS OROGRAPHIC EFFECTS ALONG SYRIAN/ISRAELI COASTAL MTNS CREATES
ADIABATIC DRYING ON THE LEEWARD SIDE. MTN WAVES VSOL ON DMSP IMAGERY
INDICATE LOW LVL MDT TURSC SFC/060 FROM THE LEBANON MTNS E TO 42E
BETWEEN JON AND 37N. INTERACTION BETWEEN POLAR AND SUBTROPICAL JETS
CAUSING LARGE AREA OF SUBSIDENCE FROM XTRM E MED TO CNTRL IRAQ. THIS
S ALSO REFLECTED ON THE CURRENT VORT PANELS. MINOR S/WVS TRAVERSING
STJ FLOW SPAWNING THIN SCT/BKN CI ACROSS THE SRN 2/3 OF THE AOR (S OF
30 SCT ACAS IN CNTRL SA REFLECTS DEBRIS FROM EARLY MORNING TSTMS
ALL THE WRN ARABIAN MTNS AND IS BEING ADVECTED E W/MID LVL FLOW.
SOME AREAS OF RADIATION FOG WERE VSBL IN CNTRL OMAN THAT FORMED OVR
NIGHT AND RAPIDLY DSIPTD ON SUBSEQUENT SHOTS.
