Description:A diagnostic vertical motion model using a simple, modified Cressman objective analysis technique and a new "one-level" version of the quasi-geostrophic omega equation is investigated. The program is designed to run on an AFOS-type minicomputer. The diagnosed vertical motion field is compared with satellite and precipitation data. The results are in good agreement with the observed data, except in data-poor areas and for weak, small-scale systems. Some applications of this technique to operational forecasting are discussed.
