Abstract

With the help of 5-day mean data for the ten-year period (1955-64) for July and August, empirical influence coefficients have been worked out. With these coefficients we derive a linear prediction formula for 700-mb contours at 12 radiosonde stations in India. We assume that the predicted 700-mb contour height is a linear function of the contours in the past pentad. The coefficients in Our prediction formula are evaluated by the method of least squares using past data.

 

The usefulness of the method was tested with data of 2 years (1965-66) and we find good success in forecasting broad features on 5-day mean charts.
