ATMS 410 - Final Project
Project theme music (Option#1)
Project theme music (Option#2)
GRVT = GAVA + LTHAD + LAD + LDIA
Case study maps
GARP functions, contour intervals, and scale factors used in creating these maps
1000 hPa maps at initial time
Geo. Ht and Geostrophic Absolute Vorticity [purple contours; 4x10-5 s-1, s.f.=5]
Geo. Ht and 10 meter Wind Speed [green contours; 3 m s-1, s.f.=0]
500 hPa maps at all times (P1 - P6, every six hours)
Geostrophic Absolute Vorticity [4x10-5 s-1, s.f.=5]
1000-500 hPa Thickness [5120 & 5460 m contours only]
GAVA [shading, s.f.=9]
nearly LTHAD [shading, s.f.=13] {need to multiply values on these maps by " -g/f " to get LTHAD}
nearly LAD [shading, s.f.=13] {need to multiply values on these maps by " -g s /f " to get LAD}
700 hPa maps at all times (P1 - P6, every six hours)
fields related to LDIA (using 700 hPa omega) [2 mb s-1, s.f.=3]
unshaded omega (black) represents NEGATIVE omega
RH is 1000-700 layer-averaged value [10%, s.f.=0]
ASSUME that LDIA has the same sign ["+" or "-"] as diabatic heating
