ATMOSPHERIC OSCILLATIONS AND RELATED SYNOPTIC PATTERNS
Abstract
Records from sensitive microbarovariographs installed at Palisades, N. Y., Columbia University, and the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, L. I. were studied in connection with synoptic and local weather data. A number of pressure events were noted in connection with the passage of certain synoptic situations. These included pressure jump lines, squall lines, cold fronts, and thunderstorms. Low level turbulence or convection associated with certain air masses at certain times is well-recorded by short-period pressure variations. Conclusions regarding the origin of squall lines are drawn from the empirical evidence given.
