Low Level Moisture Advection.
Abstract
Several years of data were reviewed to bring up to date and expand upon a Tech Note (8th Weather Squadron TN 10-7) developed by the author for Whiteman AFB, MO, in 1965. Two main low level moisture patterns in the central U.S. are identified: residual moisture and Gulf moisture. The advection and contributions of these moisture patterns is discussed. The relationship between the low level jet and Gulf stratus advection is detailed with three distinct tracks/types of moist tongues designated. Forecasting techniques for identifying and determining the extent and rate of movement of the Gulf moisture/stratus are presented. (Author)
