Analysis of some winter NWP flow patterns near B.C. / D.D. McLeod. : En57-56/509-1964E-PDF

"Data extracted from the numerical 500-mb 36-hour prognostic charts prepared by the U.S. Weather Bureau National Meteorological Centre (NMC) for December, 1962, and for January and February of 1963, verified over a twelve-point grid; the errors in the barotropic and baroclinic prognoses were compared, and the general error pattern-discussed. Since the actual vorticity field at 500 mbs was available at 12-hourly intervals on the same series of charts, an attempt was made to relate the occurrence of precipitation at Vancouver, Prince George and Port Hardy to values of the actual vorticity and its 12-hourly change. These vorticity parameters then combined with others representing absolute moisture content and relative humidity to devise a scheme for the objective prediction of rainfall amounts in Vancouver"--Abstract.
