A STUDY OF GEOSTROPHIC ANGULAR MOMENTUM TRANSPORT BY WAVES WITH PERIODS 1 TO 30 DAYS AT THE 500-MB SURFACE AND A MID-LATITUDE STATION

Abstract

The winter-time transport of geostrophically computed angular momentum at 500 mb for the period 1 December 1955 to 28 February 1956 is obtained for Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. This transport is subjected to a cospectral analysis to compute the contribution of harmonic waves with periods 1 - 30 days to the total angular momentum transport. Computations are made for two other stations, onegy, Kinetic theory, Integration, *Transport prop erties, *Theses. The winter-time transport of geostrophically computed angular momentum at 500 mb for the period 1 December 1955 to 28 February 1956 is obtained for Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. This transport is subjected to a cospectral anaeast, and one south of Sault Ste, Marie for comparison of transport as related to general circulation processes.
