Interrelationships between satellite-observed cloud patterns, numerically analyzed baroclinicity and vertical motion.

Numerically analyzed baroclinicity, an operational product of Fleet Numerical Weather Facility (FNWF) , Monterey, California, is related to cloud patterns depicted on ESSA III nephanalyses for the Atlantic-European and Pacific-North American areas during the period 7-17 December 1966.

Description
Summary:Numerically analyzed baroclinicity, an operational product of Fleet Numerical Weather Facility (FNWF) , Monterey, California, is related to cloud patterns depicted on ESSA III nephanalyses for the Atlantic-European and Pacific-North American areas during the period 7-17 December 1966. In addition, interrelations between the numerically analyzed fronts, satellite cloud observations and FNWF 850-mb and 500-mb vertical motion fields are presented.
