Two series of 12‐hr and 24‐hr forecast 500 mb, 1,000 mb and 1,000–500 mb thickness charts have been computed electronically using the Sawyer‐Bushby (1953) two‐parameter baroclinic model of the atmosphere. The results are compared with the actual charts, and a good degree of correspondence is found between the actual and computed charts.
