THE EFFECT OF SURFACE TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS ON THE POLAR NIGHT JET

The possibility of differential heating in the ozone layer due to differences in ground and lower troposphere temperatures as a mechanism for producing the observed stationary perturbations of the polar night jet was examined. It is found that this mechanism is not likely to be the cause of the dist...
