Surface Frontal Analysis

Lab Activities

Now you should be ready to begin analyzing full CONUS maps, which are sized to be easily printed for hand analysis on 8.5 x 11 paper, or can be easily imported into your preferred drawing software.

Two cases are available for surface analysis below - case 1 is a single analysis, which should be performed for 20Z. Hourly surface observations beginning at 14Z are available for situational awareness purposes.

The second case contains 6 hours of hourly surface observation data, hourly national radar data and hourly water vapor data for situational awareness purposes. Then, three maps are available for analysis: surface observations for day 2 at 0Z, 06Z and 12Z. See your instructor to determine which case(s) you will be analyzing during class and/or assignments.
