Assignment.pdf

1. PV on isentropic surfaces

Make use of 'Custom Plots' from the Synoptic Laboratory web to plot zonal and meridional cross sections of:

(a) potential temperature 

(b) absolute vorticity

(c) isentropic PV

To plot isentropic  PV use the following example file: gdcross_ipv

2. Tropopause maps

3. Waves on the tropopause

Tropopause maps loop
