Description
In order to gain background on the constraints on hurricane development from waves in the easterlies, a warm-core wave observed in the Caribbean was studied.

Description
From this study it appears that until accurate observations of the state of the atmospheric mesostructure are available, no unique correlation between Ri and clear air turbulence (CAT) should be expect·ed to exist.

Description
Satellite photographs during the summer months frequently reveal a weather situation in which strong convective development is observed over the Rocky Mountains and several hundred kilometers to the east of the mountains, while the region immediately to the lee is essentially cloud free. It is proposed that an orographically induced mesoscale wave phenomenon may produce this situation.

Description
In this paper an analysis is performed on a "minor breakdown" of the stratospheric circulation which occurred during a period of general intensification of the polar vortex (15 November to 15 December 1958).

Description
It is shown that a general class of nonlinear partial differential equations -- including those frequently used in predicting atmospheric motions -- can be converted to computational form by either the "finite difference" or "spectral" method to yield formally identical equations.

Description
The relationship between mountain lee waves and clear air turbulence is investigated using the theoretical results of Scorer, Corby and Wellington and the power spectra of atmospheric turbulence determined from recent aircraft measurements.

Description
In a previous study Reiter and Mahlman (1965a) have estimated the amount of stratospheric air intruding into the stable layer of the jet stream front in a case of cyclogenesis not accompanied by surface radioactive fallout. In the present report the same case is examined on a more general basis. Outflow form, as well as inflow into, the stratosphere is estimated over the entire thickness of the "tropopause gap."
