Abstract

Due to the importance of variable precipitation for Cuba and the lack of a method to estimate it with satellite technology, it is the objective of this work to analyze the relationship between the information of the images IR of the satellite GOES-12 and the amount of precipitation produced by the typical summer systems in Cuba. The time, intensity, and the biggining of the rains were characterized. A relationship was seen between the digital levels of rain projected in sattelite images and the quantity of rain that precipated in teen minutes obtained from pulviograms, according to the previous mentioned meteorological circumstances and images that reflected the intensity of the rain were developed. The data used corresponds to days with rain on nine local weather stations of the Havana province and those of satellite images created by a program to research them. The best relationships were obtained for situations of local rain and of short term and not in the cases of extreme phenomena, such as tropical cyclones. In addition, the Cb produced by the diurnal warming generated rains of great intensity, and those that shape the convective bands associated with the tropical cyclones generate rains of varied intensity. Also one presents a consultation chart that facilitates the creation of images product of intensities of rain produced by the diurnal warming that is very useful with the operative work.
