Reading 500 Millibar Flow Patterns in Relation to Surface Weather Developments with Special Emphasis on Forecasting for the Mediterranean and Adjoining Areas.

Abstract

This is a synoptic presentation using qualitative trajectory and/or airstream analysis at the 500 millibar level as a means of interpreting the sequence of events associated with pattern transition and inter-system disturbance at the synoptic scale. Emphasis is given to application in the area of western Europe, the Mediterranean, and adjoining portions of the Atlantic Ocean.
