A Multiple-Scale Research Program in Tropical Meteorology.
Abstract
The report contains results from a study of the larger scales of motion which emerge when monthly-mean values of the various atmospheric parameters are considered. It represents a preliminary attempt to describe the structure of the atmosphere over one of the least well known regions of the tropics, namely, the South American continent. Because of the challenging problems of the region, it was decided to undertake a study of the monthly mean circulation, temperature and rainfall patterns, both for the understanding of relationships among them that might emerge as well as to serve as background for future synoptic studies.
