Computation of tendencies and vertical motion with a two‑parameter model of the atmosphere
Abstract
The system of partial differential equations given by Sawyer and Bushby (1953) for the rates of change of the 1,000‑500‑mb thickness and the 500‑mb contour height have been solved on an electronic computing machine for three synoptic situations and the fields of vertical motion were also computed. The results, described in this paper, show reasonable agreement with actuality. The implied 1,000‑mb height tendencies also agree quite well with those actually observed.
