Research to Develop Improved Models of Climatology That Will Assist the Meteorologist in the Timely Operation of the Air Force Weather Detachments.

Abstract

This research provides a means of modelling the joint relationships of ceiling and visibility probabilities among stations as a function of distance and season. Analytic formulations are presented which show definite skill over the assumption of data independency. These functions carry the added advantage of being applicable for any route irrespective of direction, topography or location. A preliminary attempt has also been made to compact the unconditional probabilities at any station for limited elements into forms amenable for rapid computer storage and retrieval. Discussions of the results, verifications and approaches to the above topics are presented. (Author)
