Description:
An empirical method for forecasting surface winds at an inter-mountain station, based on the differences in sea-level pressure between Hanford and five other stations, is developed. Nomograms relating the ten-hour velocity trend to the pressure gradient are presented. The method is discussed in relation to conventional methods of wind forecasting as pertaining to apparent counter-gradient winds, cyclic features of the surface winds, and variations in wind speed.
