Characteristics of Tropical Wind Flow Patterns.
Abstract
The Final Report consists of three parts: (1) 'Automated Streamline Analysis Utilizing Optimum Interpolation'. (Revised version of paper presented at the WMO Tropical Symposium, Honolulu, 1971, and submitted for publication to Journal of Applied Meteorology.) (2) Appendix to above paper, consisting of examples of automated analysis of streamlines, streamfunctions, divergence and vorticity in the tropics. (3) Feasibility of Objective Wind Analysis Using satellite Cloud Data. This was a preliminary experiment to related digitized ATS-1 cloud brightness to the vorticity and divergence fields of the tropic winds. (Author)
