Description:"Until recently, forecasters have had limited means to diagnose quasi-geostrophic (Q-G) forcing. The limited graphical model output (from AFOS or standard pressure level graphics) available makes diagnosing Q-G forcing difficult in certain situations (Sanders and Hoskins 1990; Dunn 1991). Current operational practices for estimating Q-G forcing are based on pre-NWP and early-NWP era techniques and are outdated (Dunn 1991). Barnes (1985) states that operational diagnosis of Q-G forcing has been plagued by approximations and assumptions"--Introduction.
