Peak Emergence Conditions vs. Climatology
Graphs

Jul15-Aug15 vs all Jul-Aug Peak Emergence Cycle Frequencies

shows that peak emergence conditions are met more frequently between Jul.15 to Aug.15 since 71% of the cycles for July and August are included in this period.

The following graphs compare the climatological conditions on the 3ed day of Peak Emergence to the general climatology for July and August for the given climatic variable:

Pressure (hourly) - Boxplot
PressureClmVsPeak.eps
black boxes = Climatology
blue boxes = Peak Emergence

the mean pressure for peak emergence periods is higher then the mean for all days.
The diurnal pressure variability is more pronounced during peak emergence.
The hourly variability is lower for peak emergence
the mean pressure is higher during all hours for peak days vs all days.

Precipitation (daily)
PptClmVsPeak.eps

The incidence of precipitation is very low during peak emergence days.

PptPeak.eps - shows detail of precipitation during peak emergence days.

Wind Speed and Direction (daily)

Pressure and Temperature Mean Values by Hour

PrsTmpMeanAll.eps

this graph compares the diurnal trends of temperature and pressure for peak vs all days vs fair weather days.
both temperature and pressure are higher during peak emergence/fair weather days.
the daily presure cureve is more pronounced for peak emergence.

MeanPrsAll.eps

Same as above but including data limited to July15 to August 15 as dashed lines.

Global Solar Radiation and Temperature Mean Values by Hour

MeanSolAll.eps

Same as above except for solar radiation instead of pressure.

Hourly Winds

Speed and/or Direction vs. hours
MeanSpdAll.eps - Compares wind speed for all data sets to temperature

Hourly Temperautes: Dry Bulb vs. Dew Point
MeanTmpAll.eps - compares the mean values per hour for dew point, dry bulb and dry bulb - dew point (difference) temperatures.
