Abstract:

Observational research results dealing with the general circulation of the atmosphere, obtained from investigations carried on at M.I.T. during the past eighteen years are summarized for more convenient reference, primarily with a view to the study of analogous behavior in certain respects of other cosmical fluid systems such as the solar atmosphere in particular. A total of seventy six selected papers are included in the volume, together with a preface and foreword by the compilers. A list of project reports issued during the period is also appended.
