Streamline Analysis

Next Steps: Lab Activity

Now you should be ready to begin streamlining full maps. Three streamlining cases are available below and via the left-hand menu - the first is idealized, and bridges the pre-lab level of difficulty with more complex cases you might see on a daily basis. A second case is surface wind barbs over the continental US - we recommend streamlining the area east of the Rockies. A final case is atmospheric motion vectors overlaid with IR satellite over the western Pacific. See your instructor to determine which cases you will be analyzing for class.
