Abstract
Numerical weather analysis relies heavily on numerically computed
winds both for direct output and internally for calculating advection and
other purposes. It is the intent of this paper to compute, analyze, and
compare the geostrophic, the non-divergent, the divergent, and a combination
of the latter two. Where there occurs a significant difference
between these numerically derived winds, an attempt is made to compare
each to the observed winds. This study is made for all standard
levels through 300 mb. Data and several computer programs were furnished
by the U.S. Navy Fleet Numerical Weather Facility, Monterey,
California.
