Models for statistical dynamic prediction of the 500-millibar surface

Creator:

Fossum, Robert Ross

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to construct several stochastic process models for combined statistical dynamic prediction of the 500-millibar pressure surface for the northern hemisphere. To achieve this, a random forcing function is added to the spectral form of the nondivergent vorticity equation. Three models, one linear and two...

American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...
