Answer Key
The characteristics of a good abstract were discussed in
class. To find many sources of how
to write a good scientific abstract, google Òwriting a scientific abstractÓ.
The original title was:
ÒWind increases in rapid marine cyclogenesisÓ by A. W. Weinstein
and F. Sanders, 1989: Mon. Wea
Rev., 117,
1365–1367.
The title should have some of the following information in
it:
- Wind
- Geostrophic
wind
- Rapidly
developing extratropical cyclones or cyclogenesis
The abstract should contain the following information:
- Pressure
falls are not practical measures of intensifying extratropical cyclones.
- Maximum
geostrophic wind speeds are more practical than pressure falls.
- Ten
cyclones over the North Atlantic Ocean were examined.
- The
geostrophic wind and the observed wind are strongly correlated
(correlation coefficients of greater than 0.8).
- The
increase in geostrophic wind (m/s) is approximately equal to the pressure
fall (in 100 Pa, or mb) regardless of using 6-, 12-, or 24-h periods.
