Abstract

A detailed case study has been made of a cyclone/anticyclone couplet over North America during early winter, 11-18 November 1969. The anticyclone was the dominant member of the couplet in this case. Objective analyses of the wind and mass fields were carried out in both the isobaric and isentropic coordinate systems. Calculated quantities which are discussed include quasi-geostrophic vertical velocity and height tendency, potential vorticity, and quasi-Lagrangian kinetic energy budgets.-from Authors
