EMVER-93 synoptic maps every 12 hr for July and August
1993
Maps have been prepared from the EMVER-1993 pilot balloon and radiosonde data sets to show the synoptic flow at selected levels over northwestern Mexico - over a region corresponding roughly to the NAME TIER 1 domain. These maps, at the 300m, 600m, 900m, 1200m, 1500m (~850mb), 3000m (~700mb),and 6000m (~500mb) levels, are arranged to be looped to show the continuity(or lack of continuity) of the daily flow patterns. Pilot balloon observations (green) also give the speed (kts) and direction of the observation. Radiosonde observations also show temperature (red) and dewpoint (light green).
Again, the purpose of preparing these plots is to provide an idea of the variability of the flow that might be expected on a daily basis during the warm season over the NAME Tier 1 domain, its vertical variation, and to help visualize the observational density that may be required to describe it to acceptable accuracy.
