Description:"Close scrutiny of a single analysis by Phillips, et al. (1977) revealed several problems with both the observed data and the Flattery analysis procedure used for NMC operational analyses and in the 6-hour data assimilation cycle. A solution to one of the problems is discussed in this note. The problem is that the Flattery analysis produces incorrect low-level thickness temperatures over oceanic areas. More specifically, the one case study showed the low-level thickness temperatures to be too cold in the northwestern Pacific when compared to observed ship temperatures. A solution to this problem consists of making better use of observed ship surface air temperatures"--Introduction.
