Stormfury 1965; Cumulus; Trade windsAbstract
An outline of work done at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution with
National Science Foundation support since 1963 on cumulus convection as
related to larger scale atmospheric motions is given.
In addition a preliminary analysis of the meso-scale wind field as derived
from aircraft Doppler wind observations taken during one day of the Stormfury
1965 operation is described. Such facts as scale and magnitude of mesoscale
divergence and vertical velocity in the trades are inferred.
