THE USE OF ISOGON-ISOTACH CHARTS FOR DETERMINING DIVERGENCE, RELATIVE VORTICITY AND VERTICAL VELOCITY

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0829993 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report was prepared as an aid to wind field analysis. A brief discussion of basic concepts in isogon-isotach analysis is followed by a discussion of methods for determining relative vorticity, divergence and vertical velocity. Computation examples are included in the appendix.
