Description:
An objective method of forecasting Gulf stratus clouds at Bryan Air Base, Texas in the summer season is developed using the scatter-diagram technique. The parameters used are (1) resultant wind direction, (2) resultant pressure-gradient magnitude, (3) Houston temperature-dew-point spread, (4) Bryan dew point, and (5) Bryan temperature-dew-point spread. Based on one year of independent data and four years of dependent data, the skill scores are 0.55 and 0.70 respectively.
