Diagnostic Studies of Subsynoptic Atmospheric Structure,

Abstract

A fine mesh diagnostic vertical velocity model is presented and compared with cloudiness observed from surface satellite observations in order to document some properties of subsynoptic atmospheric variations. The model proves to be useful as a tool for studies on this scale as indicated by the validation against observed data and independent model prepared by Krishnamurti. Application of the model to a series of case studies reveals some aspects of the interactions between subsynoptic and larger synoptic scale motion systems and their characteristic cloud patterns.
