GEOS-5 time plots

The following plots are derived from the GEOS-5 0.67 x 0.5 gridded analyses and forecast. Details on GEOS-5. GEOS-5 is a comprehensive assilation system that is a product of the NASA GSFC Goddard Modeling and Assimilation Office.

The model analyses are filtered to expose traveling waves. The primary filter is based on

Temperature zonal mean - Latitude vs. time

The plots show the zonal mean temperatures from the GEOS-5 analyses and forecasts. Usually the forecasts are separated from the analyses by a line.

    Filters

    Two digital filters are used to isolate the wave propagation.

    Low Pass is designed to filter all wave with periods greater than 20 days. The 1/2 amplitude response is set to 20 days.

    postscript file

    Band Pass is designed to filter waves between 1 and 20 days. The 1/2 amplitude response is set to 20 days and 1 day.
