Question[s] #1a ----------- Looking at the LTHAD maps we are confused about how to get exact LTHAD values. It seems there is only a zero line so we would only be able to see positive and negative regions. We know these values will be important for later calculations. Are we missing something? Question[s] #1b ------------ Also, on the thickness maps, we are unsure what the thickness contours are we are looking at. They do not seem to have labels and the table asks for thicknesses. Question[s] #1c ------------ Finally, I know you explained this in depth but for the time periods, to[P1] we would be looking at the cyclone at P2? If that is the case, what do we put in the P8 column of the table? Answer to #1a ------------ nearly LTHAD contours are drawn every +/- 3x10^-13 [m^-1 s^-1]. If there are no contours in the region of the future cyclone position, you can know the magnitude is less than the contour interval. If you wanted to be more precise on the nearly LTHAD values, you could make assumptions about the greatest magnitude that nearly LTHAD reaches at the center of a positive or negative zone and linearly interpolate between this value and the zero line. Make clear the methodology you use and its justification. Answer to #1b ------------ The thickness contour values are given in two places; on the final project web page and in the document here, http://www.atms.unca.edu/dmiller/atms410/fnlpro_garpfuncs2021.txt Answer to #1c ------------ Left-hand (first) column in the template document is labeled "Time" while the second column is labeled "Time + 6-h." You put the future position [P2] of the cyclone or ship into the second column of the [P1] row. You would put the future position [P9] of the cyclone or ship into the second column of the [P8] row. The earlier time period (column #1) fields are used to predict the conditions occurring 6-h later at the future position of the cyclone or ship (column #2). ---> There is no limit to the number of questions asked on the final project...the only limit is that you have until noon on Thursday, November 18, 2021 to ask questions.
