Synoptic Typer

The Synoptic Typer is an application designed to perform automated objective synoptic typing using a pattern recognition scheme. A history of grid point analyses is used to develop the synoptic types using both principal component and cluster analysis techniques. Real-time NWP model output is then classified to produce synoptic type forecast guidance.
