Relations between Weather, Winds and Pressures in Low Latitudes

Abstract

IN recent years, problems of meteorological analysis and forecasting in low latitudes have received increased attention. Although wind speeds through most of the troposphere are generally low and air masses are extensive and horizontally homogeneous, both local and macro-scale changes in the sign and intensity of vertical air motion give rise to significant and occasionally violent changes in weather. Consequently, successful short-range weather forecasting is an end worth achieving.
