A STATISTICAL MODEL FOR THE MID LATITUDE TROPOPAUSE AND JET STREAM LAYER
Abstract
Tropopause and level of maximum wind charts are derived from objective analyses of the 500, 300, 150 and 100-mb height and wind fields. Regression equations, based on 24-hr changes, are developed to permit reconstruction of the layer given the history and current 500-mb data. This new derived layer is examined statistically with respect to its adequacy as a three-demensional first-guess field for the current objective analyses for this layer, and also as a method for forecasting the layer from a barotropic 500-mb prognostic chart.
