The effect of 300 mb divergence on surface cyclogenesis
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-12);Quantitative predictions of surface extratropical cyclone development are correlated to the degree of upper-level forcing from 500 mb vorticity advection and 300 mb divergence. Although it is difficult to obtain an accurate ... -

P Vectors as a Diagnostic Tool for Synoptic-Scale Circulations
(1995-03);The quasigeostrophic geopotential tendency equation is derived using P vectors in both pressure and entropy coordinates. This vector form of the geostrophic forcing in the geopotential tendency equation is similar to ...
