Abstract: | Summary In a previous studyReiter andMahlman [37]3) have estimated the amount of stratospheric air intruding into the stable layer of the jet stream front in a case of cyclogenesis not accompanied by surface radioactive fallout. In the present report the same case is examined on a more general basis. Outflow from, as well as inflow into, the stratosphere is estimated over the entire thickness of the tropopause gap.The research reported in this paper was carried out under contract AT(11-1)-1340 with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. |
