A COMPARISON OF GEOSTROPHIC RELATIVE VORTICITY AT 500 MB USING HARMONIC ANALYSIS OF THE HEIGHT FIELD WITH IT'S SQUARE GRID COMPUTATION

Abstract

Geostrophic relative vorticity is computed along three latitude circles generally encompassing the United States, using a Fourier analysis of the 500-mb height field for the period 3-6 November 1961. A statistical comparison of vorticity obtained in this manner with it's square grid computation is made.
