Abstract:
The correlation between pressure and temperature changes at 3 km is computed for six stations in the United States in order to test the forecasting rule that a one degree centigrade temperature change is associated with a one mb pressure change of the same sign at that level. The highest correlations are found with 12 hour changes, but these appear to be due to parallel diurnal variations of pressure and temperature. Positive correlations are found for 24 hour changes but they are so low that little prognostic assistance can be expected from so imperfect a relationship. Consideration of the indicated horizontal temperature advection and of the station position in a pattern of troughs and ridges is found not to materially improve the performance of the relationship.
