Abstract
A method for the graphical integration of the vorticity equation is presented, which includes the effects
of terram-mduced vertical velocities. The prediction equation is applied to a series of 1000-mb charts. The
tests show that the inclusion of the terrain factor materially improved the prognosis in mountainous areas.
When applied to the 500-mb chart, there was no significant improvement, primarily because of an additional
severe assumption relating the surface and 500-mb winds.
