An extension of a simplified, quasi-geostrophic, baroclinic theory of long waves set forth by Hess is presented. The ramifications of the stability aspects of the model and the results of adding a form of y-dependence to the system are examined. Finally, a steady state, adiabatic energy equation is added to the model as a diagnostic tool for specifying vertical profiles of the basic westerly current U (p) as a function of the parameters of the problems and as a function of particular vertical temperature profiles. Profiles U (p) for the model proposed by Hess are obtained and investigated as to their physical realism. The analogous profiles for the y-dependent case are not explicitly set forth due to mathematical difficulties. However, their general form is discussed in the light of the prior results of the investigation. (Author).
Synoptic meteorology, the study of large-scale weather systems and forecasting using observation, and dynamic meteorology, the study of the laws of physics involved in air movement, are treated in this major new text in two volumes. The author, a meteorologist noted for his research on tornadoes and severe storms, based his work on material he has taught for the past 14 years at the University of Oklahoma. There are no modern texts on the topic. Volume II covers the formation, motion and climatology of extratropical weather systems in the context of the quasigeostrophic theory and "IPV" thinking, the formation and structure of fronts and jets, applications of semigeostrophic theory, and the observed structure and dynamics of precipitation systems in midlatitudes.
