1963 NASA TIROS Weather Satellite Photo Report Dr Ted Fujita For Sale

This original January 1963 technical report from the U.S. Weather Bureau Meteorological Satellite Laboratory (Report No. 14 / Mesometeorology Project Research Paper No. 13), titled "A Technique For Precise Analysis For Satellite Data; Volume I - Photogrammetry," was authored by world-renowned meteorologist Dr. Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita (creator of the Fujita Scale for tornadoes). Prepared at the University of Chicago under Weather Bureau Contract Cwb 10215, this seminal 80+ page publication details Fujita's groundbreaking mathematical methods for rectifying distorted television camera imagery from early TIROS meteorological satellites onto Earth latitude and longitude coordinates. Richly illustrated with high-contrast TIROS cloud imagery plates, terrestrial spheroid geometry diagrams, tilt grid projections, and orbital equations, this stapled softcover monograph represents an essential primary source in early Space Age satellite meteorology and photogrammetry.
