Oquirrh Mtns and Salt Lake Valley
 

Real-Time Monitoring of Mtn/Valley Circulations :

      Divergence, vorticity and mean wind calculations are
made in real-time with data from MesoWest using the
linear model method discussed in Davies-Jones
(1993) "Useful Formulas for Computing Divergence, Vorticity,
and their Errors from Three or More Stations".

     Estimates of the representative air temperature over the lake
and the air temperature over the nearby surrounding land are
also calculated using Mesonet data.

     Data contained in the following real-time diagnostic(s) are
based on hourly averaged estimates.

                *  MesoWest SL Valley Diagnostic

                * MesoWest Oquirrh Mtn Diagnostic
