A Statistical Verification of a Ten Year Time Series of Computed Surface Wind Conditions Over the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans.

An attempt was made to evaluate the accuracy of a hind cast time series of surface wind vector components and speeds for the period of January 1960 through December 1969. The quasi-geostrophic model used to calculate these records is described as well as the twelve-hourly surface pressure data which...
