Abstract:
The report presents a summary of thermal parameters as predictors of precipitation type at Ellsworth AFB, SD. The material presented in this paper may be used in the preparation of an objective forecast when the input data is extracted from current observations and prognostic facsimile charts. The Rapid City, SD, radiosonde data 0000Z and 1200Z are correlated against precipitation type that occurred at Ellsworth AFB, SD. Thermal parameter combinations used in this study are 1000-850 mb thickness, 850-700 mb thickness, 1000-500 mb thickness surface, 850 mb and 700 mb temperatures 850 mb wind direction.
