RISTwo-Point Wind Correlations on an Isobaric Surface in a Nonhomogeneous Non-Isotropic Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The approximate relations between the correlation coefficient for geopotential, the longitudinal wind component, and the transverse wind component on an isobaric surface in the case of an homogeneous isotropic atmosphere ...
Correlation Functions for Wind and Geopotential on Isobaric Surfaces
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The fact that the geostrophic wind equations describe a large fraction of the relation between wind and geopotential and that the atmosphere approximates horizontal homogeneity and is nearly isotropic leads to two differential ...
Adjustment of Some Atmospheric Statistics to Satisfy Physical Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A relation between the coefficients of variation for pressure, density and temperature is derived which must be satisfied if these statistical parameters are those of an atmosphere that satisfies the perfect gas law and ...
Variability of Wind with Distance and Time on an Isobaric Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Maps of the contours for the two-point wind correlation coefficient for zonal and meridional components over North America are shown for time lags of ?3, ?2, ?1, 0, +1, +2, +3 days at the 500-mb level, winter. The applications ...
The Number of Significant Proper Functions of Two-Dimensional Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The proper functions and values of a two-dimensional field (pollution concentration over St. Louis) were found using the discrete matrix method and a continuous integral equation method. For the matrix case, statistical ...
