Abstract

The direction of upper tropospheric flow was estimated from the cirrus plumes associated with Cb clouds seen on satellite television pictures. The estimated directions were compared with actual wind directions at the 300 and 200 mb, and also with the directions of the shear between winds at ( a) 700 and 200 mb and { b) 500 and 200 m b. The results of the comparison are presented in this paper.
