Abstract: The dynamics of the large-scale circulation pattern of the stratosphere in mid-winter is examined. A set of energy equations is derived which is applicable to the stratosphere as an open system. The terms of these equations, ...

Abstract: Experience with a surface prognostic technique developed by Reed revealed some systematic defects, which were corrected subjectively in practice. In hopes of eliminating the defects, a forecast equation is derived here in ...

Abstract: When comparing rocketsonde and balloonsonde (radiosonde) temperature data, one notes systematic differences at levels of 25 km and above that increase with height. During the past 10 yr, systematic errors in the rocketsonde ...

Abstract: Forecasting severe weather conditions is a difficult problem due to both the small size and short lifetime of the storms. Conventional weather information is too coarse in time and space to follow individual storms but can ...

Abstract: High-level balloon data from the region of western Europe through North America to eastern Asia were used to investigate disturbances in the summertime stratosphere from 27?36 km. Systematic diurnal variations were found, ...

Abstract: Relationships between atmospheric ozone and meteorological parameters in the lower stratosphere over Europe are studied. Correlation coefficients between total ozone amount and temperature, geopotential height, and north-south ...

Abstract: Observations are presented of a cold front which passed over the Florida peninsula and produced a rope cloud visible on satellite imagery. The low level structure of the leading edge of the front is revealed with data from ...
