(2) We take up those cases in which more than three consecutive unusual days occur simultaneously in the whole area of Tokyo Bay. Both meteorological and oceanographic factors are considered in connection with the occurrence of unusual high or low sea level, which takes place once a year or so. At such times the weather condition is rather gentle in general, and the oceanic condition seems to be responsible for the unusual rise or fall. Warmer sea surface temperature is likely to be associated with the rising of the sea level and colder temperature with the falling. In the inner part of the bay, the land and sea breezes are related to these variations, so that the former (southerly wind) I serves to raise up warmer water, and the latter (northerly wind) to drive out colder water.","PeriodicalId":39821,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Meteorology and Geophysics","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69031334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of investigating the world precipitation and precipitation anomaly distribution maps which are included in \"Die Witterung in Ubersee (1953— )\" by Hamburg Seewetteramt, the author recognized that there are very scanty rainfalls in the India—Indonesia region when there are anomalous plentiful rainfalls in the dry zone islands. These events occurred in 1957, 1958, 1965 and 1966. And in 1955, 1956 and 1962, reverse types are recognizable. Further investigations of the long-period Indian flood and drought data and the rainfall data of Ocean Island and Fanning Island in the dry zone have shown that the above mentioned reverse phase rainfall variations between India and the equatorial Pacific had occurred in earlier years. In addition to the relationships between these peculiar rainfall fluctuations and the influences of the southeast trades, we should. recognize the effect of mid-latitude westerlies in the Southern Hemisphere because anomalous rainfall distributions that occurred in 1957-58 and 1965-66, when the southern westerlies were very weak, especially in a winter month (July).

(Test 1) (2) Tests in which isolated disturbance is given in the inner fine mesh domain at intial time. (Test 2) Results of the test are as follows : (1) T-scheme is the best one because of its least deviation from the control run and the computationally stable results. (2) Dr-scheme and Do-scheme are the second best. Little difference is found between the results of the two schemes. Damping coefficient used in these tests seems to cause more error than in T-scheme because of its inadequately large value. (3) Among the SE-, SS-, SO-, o-, and SG-schemes, SG-scheme gives the least error. The error in that scheme is the same order as that in D1-scheme within 24 hours forecast. But, for longer time integration,, the results of SG-scheme tend to be unstable.

{"title":"A Diagnosis of the Formation of Intermediate-scale Disturbances near Japan, the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia","authors":"Takashi, Nitta","doi":"10.2467/mripapers1950.24.3_289","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2467/mripapers1950.24.3_289","url":null,"abstract":"Frequency of cyclogenesis of intermediate-scale disturbances is surveyed over the Far East. We take up the following two items as the definition of the intermediate-scale disturbance: (1) The characteristic wavelength lies between 1,000 km and 2,000 km. (2) At the initial stage of the formation, the disturbance does not couple with upper troughs and is mostly confined to the lower part of the troposphere. The disturbance is usually formed on an extended front. Five-year statistics for the period 1966-70 show that on the average the monthly frequency in the first half year is in excess of the total average number and that in the second half year is less than that (Fig. 1). However, features of the frequency distribution vary conspicuously from year to year (Table 1). Regardless of the year-toyear variation, we may describe the gross features of spatial distribution of cyclogenesis as follows : (a) In winter, most of the spots distribute over the sea off the southern coast of the Japan islands, (b) As the year advances to spring and early summer, intermediatescale disturbances appear in the lower latitudes. The horizontal distribution of cyclogenesis in July makes a zone centering on the Baiu front. (c) In autumn, the place of frequent cyclogenesis shifts northward and the disturbance disappears from the southwest Pacific. (d) The birthplace of the cyclone moves down to the south in winter (Fig. 2)'. Comparison of the distribution with the monthly mean 500 mb pattern suggests the close connection between the cyclogenesis of intermediate-scale disturbances and the general circulation of the atmosphere (Fig. 3). In short, we may say that in a year when the mean pattern shows a zonal or flat flow, the number of cyclones generated increases and that in a year when the upper long wave trough anchors in the west of Japan, the number descreases and the cyclogenesis of the ordinary baroclinic wave becomes active. * Concurrently appointed to the Meteorological Research Institute . 290 T.

Arakawa","doi":"10.2467/mripapers1950.9.1_25","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2467/mripapers1950.9.1_25","url":null,"abstract":"Investigation has shown that the clear-air turbulence encountered by aircraft appears to occur (1) bellow the jet isotach-max and on its north, or cyclonic, side ; and (2) above the jet isotach-max and on its south, or anticyclonic, side. Through the use of two stability criteria which have been given by the present author, one might hope to arrive at an explanation for the phenomenon of clear-air turbulence. Past studies on the high-level clear-air turbulence present many interesting features. British and American investigators [BANNON (1951, 1952) , SHAEFER and HUBERT (1955), LAKE (1956)] made one of the earliest extensive studies of this problem. Recently, Project Cloud Trail has been established within the USAF Air Defense Command, and the observational phase of the project ran for the one-year period from December, 1954 to December, 1955. The analysed results of Project Cloud Fig. 1 Vertical and horizontal cross sections of the typical distribution of turbulence around the jet-stream Max-Isotach Center of 1500 Z, January 24, 1955. After LERoy H. CLEM (1957) . 26H. ArakawaVol. IX No. 1 Trail by CLEM (1957) are of interest in conjunction with the jet-stream situation. In Fig. 1, vertical and horizontal cross sections are reproduced to illustrate the typical distribution of turbulence around a jet-stream max-isotach center. There appears to be a greater probability of occurrence of the intense turbulence (1) below the jet isotach-max and on its north, or cyclonic, side and (2) above the jet isotach-max and on its south, or anticyclonic, side. The synoptic situation in this case is reproduced in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 Distribution of observed turbulence in relation to the jet stream-1500 Z, January 24, 1955. Dashed lines are isotachs (in knots) at 300 mb. Solid lines are the jet stream axes. Number above the station circle is the altitude (in thousands of ft) of the most pronounced turbulence during climb of aircraft. Intensity of turbulence is indicated by appropriate symbols. After LERoy H. CLEM (197). RICHARDSON (1920) has developed a criterion for the increase or decrease of atmospheric turbulence where there is wind shear in the vertical. He postulates that turbulent flow will continue if the rate of supply of energy by eddy stresses is equal to or greater than the work done to maintain the turbulence against any stabilizing force. The RICHARDSON number is given by _MO rexpianauun in cue rnenumenun ui Lacar-ztit i ut uulciluc GI where g is the accerelation of gravity, T the absolute temperature, aT/az the observec lapse rate, P the adiabatic lapse rate and avx/az and avy/az are the components of the vertical wind shear. The critical value to the RICHARDSON number has been assigned ranging from 1/4 to unity. SOLBERG (1939) has discussed the vanishing of the absolute vorticity in the case of transition to instability.
