A Numerical Method for Predicting the Perturbations of the Middle Latitude Westerlies
Open accessAbstract
It is shown that the large-scale quasi-stationary disturbances of the middle-latitude westerlies are produced by the forced ascent of the westerly current over the continental land masses. Friction is found to have an important modifying effect on the motion. Using these results a numerical method is devised for predicting the height profile of the 500 mb pressure surface at a fixed latitude. The method involves the use of the notion of an ≥equivalentbarotropic atmosphere≤ and of the geostrophic approximation. Six actual forecasts are made for a period of one day and the results compared with observation. The accuracy obtained is thought to justify incorporation of the method into day-to-day forecast procedures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
