Determination of the Cirrus Outflow Divergence as Seen by Satellite

Abstract
Certain methods are tested to estimate the divergence of the outflow anvil of tropical cloud clusters. These methods are based on the change of digitized brightness values given by a sequence of satellite pictures. From five consecutive pictures of the geostationary satellite ATS 1 a magnitude of the divergence is deduced which is compatible with the results of other investigations.
