PRODUCTS

NOTE:
1) all products are based on observations only (no model data)
2) all products are preliminary and should be used with caution


MANDATORY HEIGHT MAPS
  • surface products include: pressure/wind, streamlines, temperature/dewpoint, potential temperature, and station plots
  • upper-air products include: geopotential height, streamlines, divergence, vorticity, and vertical motion
SOUNDINGS & TIME SERIES
  • inventory of all CSU-processed sondes
  • skew-t diagrams and time series at each upper-air station
  • table of sounding parameters and indices
VERTICAL CROSS SECTIONS
  • nine cross-sections available in the NAME Tier-1 region: 3 east-west, 3 north-south, 2 cross-gulf, and 1 along-gulf
SATELLITE
  • GOES infrared 1-week Hovmoller diagrams in three sectors
  • QuikSCAT wind vectors overlaid on wind speed, sea surface temperature, and cloud liquid water
MONSOON SURGE INDEX
  • table of current surface observations at Mazatlan and Yuma
  • time series of surface pressure difference at Yuma and Mazatlan, as well as actual pressure time series plots at the two stations
  • time series of surface dewpoint temperatures at Yuma, Tucson, and Phoenix
ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES & BUDGETS
  • divergence, vertical motion, vorticity, theta-e, and Q1 & Q2
