Description:

"The objective of this report is to collect climatological information relating to the occurrence and prediction of cumulonimbus clouds (CB) in the vicinity of the Yucca Flat Weather Station in a single document for ready reference. The annual and daiIy cycles are first described in terms of relative frequency, i.e., the empirical equivalent of probabiIity expressed either as a percentage or decimal fraction. This is followed by a look at the persistence of days with CB activity and an evaluation of the predictive value of various climatological indices"--Introduction.
