Description
Summary:Graphical and tnbul;w tl;tt,:r on the freqwucy of frontal ~msnges at Ocean Station Vessels on the North Atlantic are compiled from historical wexther tl~aps for the years 1945-57. The stabilizing influence of the Gulf Stream is shown by the ra1)id modificatiorl of air temperature at all stations and by the rapitl transition of frontal systems. The greatest freqnency of fronts is found at the line of initial contact of cooler air with that associated with the Gulf Stream in the westernulost region of the ocean. The value of the historical sea level synoptic wetither III~I~R as a (lata source for the climatological study of atmospheric luotion systems is euiplwsized. 1.
