Source summary

Develop a Himalayan aviation decision tool that overlays current satellite cloud information on a digital elevation model. The request covers estimates of cloud amount in selected valleys or other terrain areas, finer-resolution interpolation suited to mountains, and compatibility with satellite imagery covering India, including Himawari, Meteosat, MODIS and INSAT. A terrain resolution finer than 100 metres is preferred. The tool supports helicopter and fixed-wing operations; forecast accuracy is not established by the challenge.
