Abstract: Elementary gradient wind balance has been discussed in all dynamic meteorology texts and many papers since the turn of the century. It has nearly escaped notice, however, that if one fully nondimensionalizes the gradient ...

Abstract: Examples of the application of a general method, standard in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, for expressing the meteorological equations in systematic non-dimensional form are given. In the case of the equation of motion, ...

Abstract: Laboratory model experiments, showing unmistakable phenomena of a polar- front type, are described and illustrated.

Abstract: Experiments suggested by certain theoretical ideas concerning the influence of lateral mixing on the relative circulations in thin, rotating spherical shells of liquid are described. In a hemispherical shell heated from ...

Abstract: Detailed measurements of the complete vector-velocity and temperature fields have been carried out for an upper symmetrical (Hadley regime) flow in a rotating, differentially heated annulus of water in order that precise ...
