What is evaporation cooling potential?
Discussion: Precipitation into a dry layer will result in a cooling and moistening of that layer. 7. What is the timing of the precipitation event with the thermal structure of the atmosphere over the forecast region? Discussion: Timing of precipitation with the vertical temperature structure of the atmosphere is critical because it determines the precipitation type that will fall. Compare models. 8. What are some problems the models may have? Discussion: Surface snow/ice cover and lack of data over ocean regions can distort model output. See if the models are moving toward a consensus or are diverging. If they are diverging, deduce what important process is complicating the weather situation. C. NUMERICAL OUTPUT 1. NGM(FWC) / GFS(MAV) / NAM(MET) MOS Online location: NGM(FWC) / GFS(MAV) / NAM(MET) MOS Examine forecasted temperature, dewpoint and wind trends. See how closely the actual observations are matching to the MOS numbers as the forecast period goes by. 2. From the MOS notice th
