"Based upon the premise that a single wind near the midpoint of a triangular area represents the mean wind of the area, a statistical study was made of the relationship between observed and computed geostrophic winds. Comparisons were made of observed and computed winds for five triangles at the 700, 500, and 300-mb levels. After comparing a single wind of a triangle with a geostrophic wind and the vector mean of the three observed winds at the vertices of this triangle, the results indicated that the central observed wind may deviate widely from the geostrophic wind and from the average observed wind of the triangle"--Introduction. / "January, 1955." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 23).
