A FIVE-LEVEL BAROCLINIC PREDICTION MODEL

Abstract

A five-level baroclinic model for numerical pre diction of height fields at 1000, 850, 700, 500, and 300 mb is developed and programmed. Several forms of the model are tested to determine the contribution of the various terms of the vorti city equation. Forecasts from three different methods are compared. The model shows utility in prognosis. Although there are individual differences among the methods, no one of the three is significantly better over the entire hemisphere on the data tested.
