DESIGN OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MESO-METEOROLOGICAL NETWORK
Abstract
Results of analyses of case studies of numerous networks in various locations are combined in a discussion of the observations necessary for the operation of a three-dimensional mesometeorological network. Four observational categories are considered: (1) surface, (2) upper air, (3) radar, and (4) photography. Each category is discussed in terms of the elements measured, optimum time and space resolution, accuracy required, and techniques for analysis. A model network design incorporating the above results is then proposed. This is followed by a proposed practical design for three different areas in the United States characterized by coastal, plains, and mountainous environments.
