Abstract
The meteorological applications of photography by astronauts is demonstrated fay both synoptic and mesoscale studies. Shuttle photographs of Hurricane Elena and an extratropical cyclone illustrate the value of high resolution and oblique perspective in describing the circulation of these storms and their associated cloud patterns. Studies of barrier effects, a persistent dry slot pattern and a horizontal roll cloud utilize these photographs to interpret and document mesoscale features.
