The Distribution of Temperature and Wind Connected with Active Tropical Air in the Higher Troposphere and Some Remarks Concerning Clear Air Turbulence at High Altitude

Abstract

A study is made of the distribution of wind and temperature in the higher troposphere and the lower stratosphere in cases with active Tropical air in middle latitudes. Only observed winds are used. A model for extending the fronts into the lower stratosphere is given. In connection with the proposed model a case with observed clear air turbulence at high altitude is studied. Some remarks on the statistical treatment of the reported cases with clear air turbulence is made.
