The diabatic contribution to thickness tendency / by E.C. Jarvis.: En57-56/521-1964E-PDF

"Important diabatic processes occurring in the atmosphere are briefly discussed and their contribution to thickness change is calculated for selected stations on the North Atlantic Ocean during a seven-day winter period. Results are compared with the diabatic thickness change determined by evaluating the terms in the thickness tendency equation. Although measurement errors are appreciable, values obtained by the two methods are comparable when the data have been suitably smoothed. The results indicate the fiux of sensible heat and water vapour can be used to evaluate the diabatic contribution to thickness tendency when cold air advection is occurring over the sea"--Abstract.
