some skill. Consequently some slightly different "correction factors were 

 programmed at Fleet Numerical Weather Facility for numerical testing in 

 connection with operational numerical surface forecasting models • These tests 

 and developments, promising minor improvement to existing models, are in 

 progress and will be reported at a later date . 



Although the synoptic energy feedback from the sea to atmosphere promises 

 some use and improvement, the principal use of synoptic energy exchange 

 computations at Fleet Numerical Weather Facility is in oceanographic analysis 

 and forecasting, as demonstrated by Commander Hubert at this conference 

 (Humbert, I965).
