A Description of Weather and Forecasting in the Tropics.
Abstract
This report describes the climatological features, local controls, and some of the synoptic systems that exist in the Tropics. These meteorological details are part of the development of a single station expert forecasting system for the Tropics. An extensive literature search accomplished in the past year is reviewed. A new model for forecasting tropical disturbances, considering them to be composed of an upper cold low or trough and a surface wave like disturbance, is proposed. Areas to cover next year are given. The Appendix gives tropical weather characteristics that are of interest to the single station forecaster.
