Abstract
Daily 50- and 10-mb. height and temperature values for 3 yr. (1964–1966) are interpolated for specific locations from objectively analyzed charts. Time sections are constructed using these values, and the relationship of the time sections to the sequence of synoptic charts is discussed. Values from weekly 5-, and 2, and 0.4-mb. synoptic analyses (1964–65) are used in making vertical comparisons with the 50- and 10-mb. values. Monthly means and standard deviations of daily values from these monthly means are calculated and are compared with similar parameters derived directly from data. Comparisons of these statistical parameters are made for three geographical sections: 1) a north-south section near 80°W., 2) an east-west section across North America in middle latitudes, and 3) an east-west section across the Western Hemisphere at high latitudes. Vertical differences in variability and standard deviation are discussed.
