Abstract
Abstract This paper presents the results of 5 months of an experimental operational tropical analysis scheme. The grid is a 5° of longitude square on a Mercator map. The array size is 72×23 or approximately 48°N. to 48°S. completely around the earth. The analysis has been firmly meshed into the high latitude analysis and is made at the 700-, 500-, 300-, 250-, and 200-mb. levels. The scheme is similar to that reported by Bedient and Vederman. The current output fields are the wind and streamfunction. Pressure and temperature will be added. In conjunction with the analysis an effort has been made to increase the input of aircraft data and to improve quality control and the results will be shown. Some experiments have been made in using satellite cloud pictures to improve analysis in poor data areas. This can be of special benefit in getting a proper description of the Southern Hemisphere westerlies.
