The Numerical Prediction Method for Upper Air Profiles Tried on some Regular Type Profiles
By: Olov Lönnqvist
Abstract
J. G. CHARNEY and A. ELIASSEN (1949) have proposed a numerical forecast-method for the height profile of the 500 mb-surface at a fixed latitude, and they have also calculated thc constants necessary for 24 hour forecasts at 45° N. From those constants the author has derived a 48 hour formula, which has been tried on some simple and regular upper air pattern-types, such as sinusoidal profiles of different wave-length, and some types of regular but assymetric quasi-sinusoidal profiles, the purpose of these tests being to ascertain the nature of the circulation changes implied by the Charney-Eliassen method.
