The notion is advanced that a matching conceptual model can be achieved in terms of components of persistence, or autocovariance of temperature. Some relationships between components of the two models are adapted from earlier work [TRUNCATED]en-USBased on investigation of the BU Libraries' staff, this work is free of known copyright restrictions.MeteorologyThesis/Dissertation
