Abstract:

Two statistical prediction models for the 24 hour surface pressure change are developed. One model employs the terms in a dynamic model as the independent variables in a linear regression equation. The other model combines these vari ables with parameters capable of reflecting the long-wave, long-term influences in a multivariate discriminate analysis. The regression equations were developed from data taken from the month of November 1962 at 50N latitude. A discussion of the results of both methods is presented along with a critique of the procedures used in obtaining the data.
