Forecast Worksheet - A New Approach.
Abstract
Forecasters are given mixtures of centralized forecasting guidance for various models, techniques, and data bases; valid for varying times or time intervals; and presented in many different ways. But to produce an operationally sound forecast, they must logically assemble the various bits and pieces, resolve all inconsistencies, and visualize the interactive changes that will be taking place in the atmosphere. This report describes the results of a study of worksheets normally used by Air Weather Service units to prepare forecasts. It identifies weaknesses that exist in many worksheets and describes a new worksheet format which provides a more logical step-by-step process for preparing forecasts. (Author)
