Quantitative Data

Beginning with the Anchorage-Cordova pressure gradient, I want to look at more quantitative data in order to develop an empirical forecast method. The composite maps give excellent qualitative information on the synoptic situation. One possibility is to pull the prevalent features from the composites to produce usable data. My current project is to examine sounding data, generating quantitative information for each case on the important features (Case Soundings). I have begun writing a program to pull this data from the UWyoming archive.
