THE SYNOPTIC CLIMATOLOGY OF CLOUD-FREE AREAS.
Abstract
This report discusses the results of an investigation of the synoptic patterns and air mass characteristics associated with large areas of 500,000 square nautical miles or more over highlatitude continental regions of the northern hemisphere which were coded as clear in the published nephanalyses of TIROS I through TIROS V. Such clear areas were catalogued according to synoptic type and region, and their persistence, extent, and displacement, if any, were also investigated. The implications of the results of this investigation are discussed and recommendations are made for future study. (Author)
