I've created an image loop (760KB) showing how the model thinks the
wave changed between 0800 and 1600 PST for this day, with images at 1 hour intervals (the first image is displayed for a longer interval to indicate the start of the loop) at http://www.drjack.info/RASP/MINDEN/p500.loop.d2.gif It shows the wave falling apart at the end of the day. Jack PS in my last post the first link given was actually for 1600 PST not 1300 PST as stated, so showed the wave when it was less coherent than earlier in the day |

It looks like the secondary/tertiary/5th6thary waves got more organized as
the primary weakened. A flatlander asks "is this common?" "Jack Glendening" wrote in message ink.net...

They look similar, but keep in mind the satellite image is a composite using images spread over a couple hours. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

Actually the 2km satellite resolution is most comparable since model
resolution (for the loop at least) is 4km. BTW, one thing to note is that with complex terrain wave updrafts are not always simple parallel lines as in ideal cases - see for example the updraft "Y" near Lake Tahoe (lat=39,lon=-120) at 0800 PST. |
