Relation of circulation acceleration (C) and thunderstorms using the slice method of stability analysis

Abstract

This investigation of stability analysis of the atmosphere was conducted at the U. S. Naval Postgraduate School, Annapolis, Maryland during the winter and spring of 1948 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Aerology. The object of the work was to check the findings of previous investigations along this line by taking observations over a longer period of time and to determine the desirability of using the Slice Method as a means of objective forecasting using single station soundings.
