THE USE OF ISOGON-ISOTACH CHARTS FOR DETERMINING DIVERGENCE, RELATIVE VORTICITY AND VERTICAL VELOCITY

Abstract

This report was prepared as an aid to wind field analysis. A brief discussion of basic concepts in isogon-isotach analysis is followed by a discussion of methods for determining relative vorticity, divergence and vertical velocity. Computation examples are included in the appendix.
