Discussion
Temperature
- There isn't enough data to show major contribution of div to temperature differential in Autumn 97/98. Summer 1998 there does appear to exist
some relationship to (+) divergence / increased temperature and (-) divergence / decreased temperature.
Mixing Ratio
- There appears to be a relationship for Summer 1998 with (+) divergence / increased mixing ratio and (-) divergence / decreased
mixing
ratio.
Relative Humidity
- There does not appear to be any relationship for all seasons.
Wind Direction
- There does not appear to be any relationship for all seasons.
Wind Speed
- There does not appear to be any relationship for all seasons.
Sensible Heat Flux
- There are fewer cases of (-) sensible heat flux for (+) divergence in Winter 97/Spring 98/Summer 98.
Latent Heat Flux
- There does not appear to be any relationship for all seasons.
Stability
- There appears to be a number of cases with large instability associated with (+) divergence for all seasons.
MSLP
- There appears to be more cases of low pressure associated with (+) divergence.
