Local winds south of Sierra de Misantla (Mexico), and their statistical relationships with 500 mb circulation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bivariate regression models for the relationship between local surface wind and the circulation at 500 mb. are proposed. Results indicate that wind direction or wind speed at 500 mb are not significantly related with surface wind. However, factors like day or night time, cloudiness, atmospheric stability and horizontal temperature gradients at the surface have a strong influence on air flow.
