THE EFFECTS OF INTERNAL WAVES IN THE EASTERLIES ON MESOSCALE WEATHER DEVELOPMENTS.

Abstract

A model based on the general theory of internal waves presented in the Interim Report, and on the analyzed data from the western tropical Pacific is presented. The physical description of parameters results from the analysis of three cases of internal waves propagating along the inversion through the Hardtack network. A test of the theory for a simple case shows general agreement with existing data in development and propagation. The final numerical development of the theory appended in the report is general and can be used to test a large number of cases simultaneously. Also appended is a climatological study of rainfall over water in the tropics. (Author)
