This analysis reveals issues with pressure calculations in elevated terrains, impacting weather forecasting in Eastern Australia.
Analysis of mean sea level (or any other reference level) pressure fields in pre-frontal and frontal passage situations during summertime in eastern Australia is particularly susceptible to calculation of column temperature required in the pressure reduction process. Over elevated, variable terrain large errors in the pressure field can result, both for mesoscale and larger-scale analysis, and examples are given to illustrate the problem.
