Abstract: With use of the speed of long waves of infinitesimal amplitude as the criterion for critical flow, general expressions are obtained for critical conditions in a fluid system of n layers, where velocity as well as density ...

Abstract: Observations of surface waves in a tilted rotating circular basin of paraboloidal bottom reveal quantitatively the limitations of the predictability of tides by linear inviscid analyses. Through nonlinear interactions of ...

Abstract: The transfer of water in vapor form by the atmosphere is presented for the calendar year 1949. Monthly and seasonal patterns of moisture flow are evaluated, and it is shown that there is a close relationship between these ...

Abstract: Data at 300 mb for January-February and July-August, 1949, are used to compute spectra of atmospheric turbulence as a function of wave number along various latitude circles. Power spectra are computed for the zonal and ...
