Description
A generalization of the two-dimensional spectral forecast equations is suggested, whereby the atmospheric flow field in horizontal and vertical directions is represented in terms of orthogonal functions, which are eigenfunctions of certain differential operators in the three-dimensional equations. The technique is applied to the quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity equation.

Description
This study focuses upon the mechanisms by which mountains and synoptic weather systems interact to produce characteristic orographic cloud systems. In each of the three case studies, a synoptic cloud component, an orographic cloud component, and a convective cloud component were identified through the analysis of rawinsonde data, vertically pointing radar data, and visual observations.

Description
Qunatative [sic] radiance measurements from NASA's ATS-3 geosynchronous satellite have been used to develop and test a statistical forecast method to predict air terminal weather over the very short range (0-6 hours) time period.

Description
This study examines the location and development of turbulence in the morning hours of boundary layer development over mountainous terrain. Four case study days are presented which illustrate important features on two types of days observed in the mountains of central Colorado.

Description
Digital imagery from the SMS 2 geostationary satellite was recorded for analysis in support of the Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project. Imagery of five storms during the 1976 77 and 1977 78 seasons of the project were analyzed. Results show the highest precipitation and lowest cloud top temperatures below 35° C occur about one or two hours ahead of the surface cold front within the frontal band. Following the frontal passage an unstable convective orographic...
