proj.pdf is the handout describing the projects

trajectory_1.m (also needs zprim1.m)
trajectory_2.m (also needs zprim2.m)
geowinds_1.m
geowinds_2.m
(plus mapUS.m and three text files geop500mb98111000.txt, urel500mb98111000.txt, and  vrel500mb98111000.txt to be placed in the same directory as the matlab script)
vorticity_1.m (also needs stream.m)
vorticity_2.m
vorticity_demo.m
Chapter_6_plot1.m (This file is finally ready for groups 4 and 5. It also produces plots for exercise 6.3. Have a look if interested. See comments in the matlab file.).
