Climatological relationships between monthly mean surface temperature and mid-tropospheric heights: Final report, November 1, 1980-August 1, 1983
Technical Report

OSTI ID:5480545
The synoptic climatology of monthly mean surface temperature in the contiguous United States has been obtained by analyzing and summarizing fields of simple linear correlation between the temperature anomaly at 109 stations during 102 winter months and the simultaneous anomaly of monthly mean 700 mb height at 133 grid points over North American and adjacent oceans. In addition, the correlation fields have been multiplied by the standard deviation of height anomaly at each grid point to produce composite maps for warm temperatures at eash station. On the basis of these correlation fields and composite maps, inferences have been drawn concerning the relations between surface temperature and the surrounding 700 mb circulation, and geographical differences have been highlighted. Schematic models have been constructed showing preferred locations of above and below normal 700mb heights for opposite extremes of winter temperature in each of several climatologically similar regions into which the United States can be divided.
