Data from field studies have shown that the ozone concentrations in a complex environment do not exhibit the same mean values at mountaintop and valley sites. The occurrences of the maximum value for the two types of sites are approximately 180° out of phase, the mountaintop maximum occurring at night. Their relative concentrations often vary by a factor of 3 or 4. Ground‐level NO2 concentrations were comparable to reported values. The NO/NO2 ratio was approximately 0.65.

“…They are computed for a solar spectrum given by Craig [6] based on the spectrum of Newell and Siry (1947). The ozone distribution used was one which varied in total amount in accordance with Gotz [7] but whose shape was proportional to the shape of the Craig No. 1 distribution [6].…”

A computation has been made of the seasonal and latitudinal variation of the diurnal temperature changes in the ozonosphere. There was assumed a uniform cooling rate over a twenty-four hour period which exactly balanced the heating due to absorption by ozone of solar energy. The computations indicate that the diurnal temperature variation curve is relatively constant with latitude up to about 75 °N Latitude. The maximum diurnal temperature variation is at about 45 km.

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...
