Diagnosis of the Evolution of a Middle Latitude
Cyclone
on the Basis of Sutcliffe-Petterssen Development
Equation
Abstract
(Due April 7, 2005)
I. Introduction -- (Includes purpose and what you
are going to do, etc.) (Revision Due March 29, 2005)
II. Synoptic
Overview (A discussion of the synoptic situation and history of the
disturbance utilizing appropriate charts and diagrams; e.g., upper troposphere, surface
charts, divergence, vertical velocity fields, satellite imagery, thickness
etc. Can consist of multiple
subsections related to dynamics and thermodynamics. In certain case studies, another section related to
subsynoptics may be appropriate.) (Revision
Due March 29, 2005)
III. Governing Equations (Not the whole derivation, which
should be in the Appendices, but the final equation with all the terms written
out and conceptually explained. For example, in section II you might put
something like "The Sutcliffe-Petterssen Development Equation is
(1a,b)
The entire
derivation of this equation is included in Appendix 1."). (Revision Due
March 29, 2005)
IV. Procedure (Write in your own words what procedure was undertaken to
estimate terms etc. which times were selected etc.). (First Draft Due April 7, 2005)
V. Results of the study (A detailed description of your SPDE
numerical results and their implications) (First Draft Due April 7, 2005)
VI. Additional
Quasigeostrophic Diagnoses (Trenberth and Q-Vector)
VII. Discussion of results -- Should
include, but not necessarily limited to:
IX. Summary and Conclusions
X. References
XI. Appendices
Equations etc. (any derivations that are extensive and not specifically related to the
main thrust of the paper.)
Maps -- (all analyses should be labeled consecutively Figure 1, Figure 2,
etc. and referred to specifically in the text. They will be folded neatly and put into envelope at rear of
folder)
