“…Only the 200 mb analyses for 3 and 4 May 1963 presented by Berggren and Labitzke (1968) are directly comparable with the analyses compiled here. The analyses are similar in that the major features are the same; yet minor differences occur with the smaller features.…”

“…Synoptic models of ozone distribution on a pressure surface have not been published to the author's knowledge--with the exception of the six analyses presented by Berggren and Labitzke (1968). Other investigators have published information about the synoptic distribution of ozone but none have presented distributions on a pressure surface.…”

“…Hering and Borden (1964) considered the data, obtained by the ozonesonde network, as "provisional." Considering the results of the two intercomparison tests and the observation that other investigators (Berggren andLabitzke, 1966, 1968;Breiland, 1964Breiland, , 1965Breiland, , 1967Breiland, , 1968Craig, Deluisi, and Sticksel, 1967;Hering, 1966;Hering, Touart, and Borden, 1967;and Sticksel, 1966) have published studies using the corrected ozonesonde data, the reliability of the ozonesonde soundings as published by Hering and Borden (1964) is accepted.…”

ABSTRACT:This is a compilation of research results performed under AEC Research Contract AT(49-7)-3206. All of the various efforts have been directed toward gaining a better understanding of the atmospheric processes which lead to systematic large-scale trace substance transport. A variety of approaches have been employed in this and in earlier work on this contract. The last article in this report provides an overview and critique of the applicability of these various methods. D. Mahiman-------------------------------- 11.

An overview of various research efforts and techniques employed for investigation of trace substance transport in the atmosphere , by J. An examination of the kinetic energy balance of this Jet stream reveals that the direct transverse circulation is strong enough to maintain the jet against frictional dissipation but not enough to provide lateral export of energy. However, significant amounts of energy are transferred upward into the lower stratosphere. D. Mahlman -----------------------------Further considerations are employed to show that the mean transverse circulation obtained here is compatible with the observed distributions of temperature and potential vorticity about the Jet core.1-2 I. IntroductionSince its quantitative documentation over cwenty-five years ago, the polar front or mid-latitude jet stream has been the subject of numerous intensive investigations. Much of the early interest in this Jet stream system was due to its obvious connection with the mid-latitude cyclone waves and their associated weather processes. Because these seemed to form an interacting system, many investigators became interested in the dynamical processes responsible for producing and maintaining this jet stream.According to Rossby (1947) and Staff Members (1947), the westerly jet stream in mid-latitudes is formed by lateral mixing processes with constant absolute angular momentum to the south of the Jet core and constant absolute vorticity to the north. This assumption yields a lateral velocity profile which is qualitatively reasonable. It was pointed out,however, that such a mechanism implies a thermally indirect transverse circulation about the jet core itself. Although such a mechanism is attractive because the systematic ascent of cold air and descent of warm air helps to maintain the strong lateral temperature contrast across the jet core, it leads to the possibly more difficult question, as to how the kinetic energy of the jet stream is maintained.Making use of this scheme, Palmen (1951) included this assumed indirect transverse circulation about the polar front jet stream in his model of the mean meridional circulation. In a study by Endlich (1953), fields of adiabatic vertical velocities were computed in the vicinity of a polar 1...
