Equations and Algorithms for Meteorological Applications in Air Weather Service

Abstract

This document lists equations of algorithms used for computing common meteorological and geophysical variables. It should serve as a handy reference for Base Weather Station computer programmers and thus promote standardization and minimize time consuming literature researches by them. The equations and algorithms are classified into three groups: kinematic properties, thermodynamic properties, and gridded or contoured data fields.
