Peter Moore's text, The Weather Experiment, takes the reader back to another time--long before the clouds had scientific names or a single
synoptic chart had been plotted.
Such relationships can be studied by considering classification-based synoptic climatologies in which the atmospheric circulation conditions are stratified into a set of discrete
synoptic chart patterns: days belonging to a given class share similar contour patterns.
A marked feature on the
synoptic chart earlier this week was the rather slow progression of the South Atlantic High.
The most difficult of the 10 questions appeared to be: "What is the name given to the lines on a
synoptic chart?" to which 13 per cent of those polled gave the correct answer of "isobars".
Also particularly helpful are a
synoptic chart comparing the overlap between MS A and B (pp.
Undercutting and overriding of airmasses and their intertwining flows will ensure vortex development identifiable for each successive 3-hourly
synoptic chart. The weather close to the various cores will be stormy, wind flow and wave development will be impressive.
Quite naturally the full range of detail is expansive: and that is just the one
synoptic chart. Three hours later another is being put together and so on throughout any particular day.
The
synoptic chart shows that an intense anticyclone has been present over the mid-Atlantic for the past week.
Most surface weather maps you see at a weather station are
synoptic charts and they give us the day-to-day wind flow.
He also pioneered techniques for forecasting weather such as
synoptic charts, where weather observations taken at the same time were drawn on a map to aid forecasting - a technique still used today.
We obtained the
synoptic charts for 00 and 12 Greenwich mean time covering the period 1983-1995 on a daily basis from the archives of the European Meteorological Bulletin.
