The Practical Aspect of Tropical Meteorology. Volume 2. Notes on the Tropical Pacific and Southeast Asia
Abstract
The report is designed to supplement other texts on tropical meteorology. It makes use of new observational material and accords the synoptic features of the monsoons more attention than they have received in the past. Hints on analysis, and the uses of auxiliary charts and continuity are followed by a chapter on the physical geography of the Pacific and a gazetteer describing the locations and environments of observing stations. Chapter 3 tabulates monthly mean resultant winds, steadiness and other derived data at standard pressure levels for 34 sounding stations. Chapter 4 which broadly considers the climatology of the region, leads to more detailed discussions of the synoptic climatology of the tropospheric field of motion in the central Pacific (Chapter 5) and of the synoptic climatology of the China Seas and southeast Asia (Chapter 6). Appendices amplify the topics covered in this chapter. The final chapters are devoted to tropical cloud physics, local effects and aerial weather reconnaissance.
