A results section. The results section will largely be a version of your “revised” discussion submitted with Lab 2, wherein you take into account comments provided by your instructor on your Lab 2. However, you will also need to reference the four MATLAB generated charts by figure number as you discuss them. Remember, the proper format to reference a figure by number is at the end of a sentence. E.g., do not say 1 shows a trough over Michigan”. Instead say, 500-mb trough, with minimum “Figure “A heights of 5130 m and temperatures of -15C, was centered over Michigan at 0000 UTC 31 January 2017 (Figure 1).” Place the figures at the end of the writeup, with appropriate captions: e.g., 1: Height at 500-mb at 0000 UTC on 31 January 2017, from “Figure NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis I.” While the data for this lab is from the same time and day as in Lab 2, the analysis may reveal new or different features. Thus, include any new meteorological insights gained from your MATLAB analysis. This should be 1 to 2 double spaced pages. A conclusion section. Very briefly summarize the main points of the results section. Tie those main points back to whatever you mention in the introduction (but don’t say “As mentioned in the introduction …”). A references section. If you cite any references anywhere in the lab, include them here. A page (or pages) containing your clean and commented (explain what each section of code is doing) MATLAB script. A sample of the 500-mb figure, with appropriate axis labels and title, is below. Figure 4: Example 500-mb heights.
