ntroduction This practical course in SMR304/ SMR502 is intended to provide practical skills to

learners at undergraduate level pursuing B.Sc. in Meteorology and PGD. in Meteorology

analytical and computational skills in synoptic Meteorology. The computation skills

include; computation of speed and direction from the zonal and meridional components,

computation of horizontal divergence and computation of absolute vorticity. The

analytical skill include plotting meteograms, streamline isotach analysis.

THE OBJECTIVES OF SMR 304 PRACTICALS

The main objective of this unit is to enable the student to learn analytical and

computation skill in Synoptic Meteorology and to be able to use computer soft

wares to solve meteorological problems.

The specific course objectives:

At the end of the practical course the learner should be able to:

1. Compute the horizontal of divergenge and absolute vorticity from the zonal and

meridional wind component

2. Plot a Meteogram

3.Plotting Divergent wind from velocity potential

4.Plot the sounding on a T gram

5.Decode and code a METAR

Practical Three: STREAMLINES OF DIVERGENT WIND AND

STREAMLINE-ISOTACH ANALYSIS

Objective:

The practical is aimed at enabling the student gain skill in analyzing the divergent wind

and wind using streamline-isotach method.

Definition:

Isotach

Isotach are lines joining points of equal wind speed

Singular points:

Tools:

Chart of velocity potential

The wind plots on the chart

Procedure:

1. Divergent Wind

The divergent wind is given by

V

Thus the streamlines of the divergent wind will be orthogonal (at right angle) to the

isolines of the velocity potential.

2. Streamline Isotach Analysis

Draw two sets of lines, the streamlines and isotachs

Streamline:

Starting at the edge of the chart draw smooth streamlines, ensuring that each

streamline is parallel to wind vector.

Where two streamlines diverge you may start another between them

Where two streamline flow together join them smoothly

Identify singular points

Isotach

Determine a suitable interval and draw the isotachs.

Practical Four:

PLOTTING THE SOUNDING ON A T

Objective:

The practical is aimed at enabling the student to plot the sounding on T

And compute the convective parameters.

Tools

a) A table of coded Temp Report

b) A chart (T )

c) Colored pencils (Red, Yellow, Green and Blue)

Instructions

1. Extract the Temp report for the allocated station and date from the following

website http://www.ogimet.com/synopsc.phtml.en

2. Print a thermodynamic diagram from this manual .

3. Sounding for the two consecutive days as assigned should be at the same time

between 11hr and 18hr local time of the station allocated

4. Plot the given temperature and dew point temperature for the two days on the

same T gram and answer the following questions with regard to the second

day of your data.

a) Indicate the layers that experienced warming/ cooling and moistening / drying.

b) Determine the LCL, equivalent potential temperature, lifted Index and K-index

c) Find the thermal wind in the layer between the following layers; 850-700, 700-

500 , 500-400 and 300-200mb.

d) Find the relative humidity, specific humidity and vapor pressure at surface,

850mb,700mb, 600mb, 500mb, and 400mb

Practical Five:

Decoding and coding METAR Objective:

The practical is aimed at enabling the student to code and decode aviation weather.

And compute the convective parameters.

Tools

a) A table of coded METAR

b) A table of observed and forecast aviation weather

Instructions:

1. Decode the METAR given in table 5.1

2. Code the aviation weather given in table 5.2
