Forecaster’s Guide to Tropical Meteorology
Book information
Description
Maj. Gary D. Atkinson, USAF revised by C.S. Ramage. Second Edition, 1991. p.285.This report broadly surveys our knowledge of tropical meteorology. It discuses the tropical circulation (pressure, winds, temperature, water vapor, cloudiness, diurnal variations), its analysis and forecasting. Although this manual discusses various theoretical hypotheses, it uses little mathematical formulation; it assumes that the reader is familiar with the pressure/wind and the thermal wind relationships, divergence, convergence and vertical motion, vorticity and lapse rate, and generally understands mid-latitude synoptic models. The Guide was used not only to train Air Weather Service meteorologists, but also as a text for university courses.
