Abstract

The results of experiments performed with a scheme for objective analysis of the contour heights of five levels of the atmosphere are presented here. Whereas objective analysis so far produced in India related to only 500-mb level in this study a scheme has been prepared for the analysis of 850, 700, 500, 300 and 200mb levels simultaneously. The method known as 'successive corrections by weighted averages has been employed. To maintain vertical consistency of analysis, thickness between two layers and the vector wind shear at the reporting stations have bean taken into account. Use of satellite pictures and AIREP messages bas been discussed.
