The Practical Aspect of Tropical Meteorology. Volume 1
Abstract
The report is in seven parts. After a short introduction, the manner in which the tropical forecaster may utilize climatological information is discussed. The next section emphasizes that the approach to the evaluation of tropical data is different from that which is standard in high latitude meteorology. Then follows a long discussion of wind analysis, using streamlines and isotachs. The fifth section covers methods of analyzing cloud and weather distribution; the methods outlined here are designed specifically for use in tropical regions. The sixth section deals with problems of correlation of wind and weather patterns, of continuity and with related topics; the material is presented chiefly in the form of practical examples. Finally, the structure, genesis and movement of tropical cyclones are briefly discussed.
