Abstract
A high-speed electronic computer has been programmed to prepare cloud and precipitation forecasts for the Northern Hemisphere. The basic input data are derived from the Joint Numerical Weather Prediction Unit's two-level operational model of the atmosphere. The computer predicts cloudiness, rain, snow, and amounts of precipitation. Examples of computer forecasts are given and compared with observations.Keywords
