The importance of "jet streams'' and other near-tropopause phenomena to aircraft operations led to the establishment by the Air Force of a project for probing these regions. Two specially instrumented aircraft, a B-47 jet bomber and a B-29, are the data gathering vehicles. Their instrumentation is discussed and examples of the data gathered thus far are given. These data show that significant maxima and minima of wind speed can occur between reporting stations and indicate that at jet stream levels, the gradient wind is a much better approximation to observed space-averaged winds than the geostrophic.t Entered as second class matter September 24, 1945, at the Post Office at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, under the Act of August 24, 1912.

Absent from English statute, trust protectors are notoriously ill-defined, and that term can take on vastly different meanings between jurisdictions, and between trust instruments. Protector problems are a more frequent feature in offshore trust litigation, in particular regarding the precise nature of protector powers, and whether these should be defined as fiduciary, personal or otherwise. In this article, we explore the UK perspective on the use and incorporation of trust protectors, in comparison to their use in the traditional offshore jurisdictions where they are particularly prevalent, and seemingly only increasing in stature and power, at times exercising genuinely discretionary review functions and sometimes holding powers that exceed those of their trustees. Different interpretations of the key protector power of veto are also explored, with reference to the recent alternate findings on this issue between the Jersey Courts in Piedmont and Riviera Trusts [2021] and the Supreme Court of Bermuda in Re the X Trusts [2021].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
