U. S. Weather Bureau Broad System Design and Analysis: Current Status of the Hemispheric Exchange Program and Selected Facsimile Broadcasts

摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine certain areas of the current world weather system that have an impact on the design and analysis of the World Weather Watch. Specifically the areas are: (1) Determine traffic flow on the main Northern Hemisphere Exchange Trunk (New York, Offenbach, Moscow, New Delhi and Tokyo); (2) determine the capacity of the Northern Hemisphere Exchange Trunk; (3) identify radio facsimile transmission schedules of analyses and prognoses for Nairobi, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Moscow, Suitland, Melbourne and Offenbach; and (4) determine the status of the Southern Hemisphere Exchange and InterHemisphere Exchange Plans. This report reflects the current status of the hemispheric exchange trunk and the scheduled facsimile broadcasts from selected locations. (Author)
