Abstract

 Forecasts of 500 mb surface by simple barotropic model which excludes divergence and ground contour effects, have been found to suffer from retrograde motion of ultra long waves. In this paper the effects of divergence term on the forecasts have been studied. 'It is shown that inclusion of the divergence term leads to an improvement in the 24-hr barotropic forecast for 500.mb level. It also produces a vastly improved 48 hours prognosis. Effects of the ground contour term are also discussed.
