Description
The results of a detailed analysis of 159 tornado proximity rawinsonde soundings are considered in Part I of this study. An extensive discussion of tornado features and a hypothesized physical model of tornado genesis is presented in Part II of this paper.

Description
A time-dependent, hemispheric, primitive-equation numerical model is constructed to test Hines' (1974) hypothesis that solar variations induce changes in the distributions of basic state variables at high levels in the atmosphere, and thus induce changes in planetary-scale wave structure at lower atmospheric levels. This mechanism was proposed to explain apparent atmospheric responses to solar activity.

Description
In this paper an analysis is performed on a "minor breakdown" of the stratospheric circulation which occurred during a period of general intensification of the polar vortex (15 November to 15 December 1958).

Description
Data acquired during the 1972 Venezuelan International Meteorological and Hydrological Experiment is used to study the thermodynamic structure of the cumulus sub-cloud layer: its time dependence, and transformation by precipitation. A close relationship between lifting condensation level (LCL) and cloud base, and between LCL and the transition layer is found.

Description
A climatological analysis of regionally potentially bad air quality days near Denver and Grand Junction, Colorado has been prepared. These bad air quality days are defined as days which have a small volume of atmosphere available for the dilution of contaminants released within the region.

Description
The structure of the wind field of a tropical cyclone can be roughly described by three measurements: intensity (maximum wind), size (extent of the vortex), and strength (average wind speed of the vortex). This paper examines the climatology, structure and possible physical processes of tropical cyclones of different sizes.

Description
Hurricane spawned tornadoes are most frequent at the time when hurricanes initially cross land and undergo rapid filling. This paper presents data composite information on all available rawinsonde and pibal reports surrounding this type of tornado genesis in the United States and Japan.

Description
The geostrophic system of equations with both the effects of orography and heat contrast corresponding to land-sea distribution is integrated with respect to time by using the spectral method. The computed results show the appearance of reasonable blocking situation and a corresponding double jet stream in the latitudinal distribution of the zonally averaged zonal wind.
