| Summary: | An on-going program within the Techniques Development Laboratory of the Weather Bureau to develop an operating system for making objective forecasts of weather variables on a space scale of approximately 50 miles and a time scale of 1 hour up to about 18 hours is described. The system will consist of a combination of numerical (dynamic) and statistical models. Precipitation and cloudiness forecasts for the "Today" period, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., over the eastern United States are receiving primary emphasis. Intermediate products are hourly sea level pressure forecasts valid between 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. It appears the sea-level pressure and precipitation forecasts are superior to the machine produced guidance forecasts presently available within NMC. |
