Abstract
AbstractA numerical procedure is described for determining, in a barotropic model, the horizontal wind (V) from the field of geopotential height, based on the approximation d2 V/dt2 = 0. The technique used to solve the resultant simultaneous equations is outlined and some of the problems which were encountered in their solution are also mentioned. The approximation permits the evaluation of the geopotential height tendency and a comparison is made between barotropic forecasts based on this condition and on conventional barotropic and baroclinic numerical integrations.
