A pilot study to determine relationships between North Pacific precipitation from Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer data and associated atmospheric conditionsRelationships between the large scale field and the location of cyclone tracks are found by deriving monthly precipitation positions in the North Pacific. The precipitation locations are determined from Nimbus-7 SMMR data for the winter seasons 1978-1979 and 1979-1980. These locations are compared to the large scale atmospheric conditions.
