Frequency Distributions of Predominant Tropopause Heights along 80 °W in Summer
Sample frequency distributions of height of the predominant tropopause in summer, at various latitudes along 80°W, as interpolated from analyzed tropopause-contour charts, are studied. At most locations the frequency distributions are such as to be statistically acceptable as being samples drawn from relatively simple theoretical parent distributions. It is therefore possible to compute theoretical frequencies of predominant-tropopause height for individual class intervals of height at these locations.
