SEASAT ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT. VOLUME 9: PORTS AND HARBORS CASE STUDY AND GENERALIZATION
This case study and generalization quantify benefits made possible through improved weather forecasting resulting from the integration of SEASAT data into local weather forecasts. The major source of avoidable economic losses to shipping from inadequate weather forecasting data is shown to be dependent on local precipitation forecasting. The ports of Philadelphia and Boston were selected for study. (Author)
