Abstract: Computations of radiative cooling are made, and the conclusion is reached that the rate of cooling in the antarctic atmosphere is more than sufficient for the observed minimum temperatures to be attained in the lower ...

Abstract: An evaluation is made of the synoptic features and characteristic pressure patterns of the Southern Hemisphere as they relate to the seasonal circulations. Examples of both strong and weak polar outbreaks are presented, ...

Abstract: Mean meridional wind components and eddy transports of sensible heat across 72°S. latitude are computed for each of six atmospheric levels from 850 to 100 mb., using 1958 data from 10 Antarctic stations. Mean vertical ...
