PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES IN THE WESTERN REGION ASSOCIATED WITH FALL 500-MB MAP TYPES

I. INTRODUCTION

Precipitation probabi I !ties associate~ with fa I I 500-mb map types were generated employing the same typing technique presented in WBTM WR 45/1 "Precipitation Probabi I ities in the Western Region Associated with Winter 500-mb Map Types".

The fal I season consisted of I 170 maps for 0000 and 1200GMT September 1962-1968, October 1962-1968, and November 1961-1967. Cl imatologies for 12-hour precipitation were calculated for the same station net­work in the Western Region.

Maps of fall mean map are according to typing area.

type cl imatologies along with associated type and pure given in Appendix A. The type maps have been arranged basic simi laritles in the large-scale flow over the The divisions are as follows:

Trough 130- 150°W.--types 2, 5, II, 14, 18, 23

Trough 120- 125°W.--types 3, 16, 17, 20

Trough 110 II5°W.--types 6, 7, 10, 13, 22, 25

Zonal flow--types I, 9

Ridge 120 -140°W.--types 4, 8, 12, 15, 1?, 21, 24.

A I !sting of dates of occurrence of each fal I type Is given In Appendix B.
