UPPER WIND CORRELATIONS IN SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES

Abstract

Vector correlation coefficients of upper winds at El Paso, Midland, and Amarillo, Texas; Fort Huachuca, Arizona; and Albuquerque, New Mexico; and between El Paso and the other stations are presented by season, in tabular form. These include both synchronous and lagged values, and were computed for the same heights for each loca tion, and between heights. Values of the coefficients vary from 0.9 to 0.1 and agree closely with similar studies. A simple technique for using the correlations as a forecast aid is presented, including the necessary constants. The total vector correlation coefficient is compared to the vector stretch correlation coefficient; the former is favored.
