Worldwide Frequency of Temperatures at Selected Altitudes

Abstract

This report provides maps that give frequency of occurrence of temperatures less than or equal to certain values at selected altitudes worldwide. Monthly data is plotted on world maps, with contours of probability. The analysis was performed using the Air Force Global Weather Central's HIRAS (High-Resolution Analysis) temperature and D-value data for 1985-1991. The analysis was accomplished for a 2.5 by 2.5 degree latitude/longitude global grid. The results of the analysis appear consistent with what meteorologists know about the atmosphere. The maps show USAFETAC's recently acquired data visualization capabilities. Climatology, Weather, Temperature, Altitude, Atmosphere, Probability, Frequency, Frequency of occurrence, Analysis, Maps.
