Analysis of Quasi-Geostrophic Forcing during the AIMCS (Airborne Investigations of Mesoscale Convective Systems) Project. Volume 2. Results for June 14 through July 16, 1984

摘要

Diagnostic results from twice-daily National Weather Service soundings for the 32-day Airborne Investigations of Mesoscale Convective Systems Project are presented in 64 multi-panel figures identified by date and time. Information in each figure includes surface map for the sounding time, satellite IR images, 700 mb heights, 850 mb mixing ratio, 700 mb absolute geostrophic vorticity, 700 mb geostrophic temperature advection, 700-500 mb and 850-700 mb lapse rates, 700 mb Q-vectors superimposed on 850-500 mb layer-mean isotherms, 800 mb geostrophic frontogenesis function, 850-300 mb stability tendency, and divergence of Q fields for 800, 700, and 500 mb.
