Abstract

A study has been made to find the usefulness, for forecasting purposes, of a critical examination of the 24-hour variations in the flow pattern of winds by plotting systematically vectorial changes of upper winds. It is seen that such charts by providing a more definite picture of changes in the circulation pattern of winds, give an insight into the future trend of events in relation to developments of Important synoptic situation, such as, the origin and movements of depressions or of storms in the sea areas, formation of secondaries of western disturbances etc more readily and clearly than what IS possible from a study of two consecutive wind charts.
