Abstract
The winter-time transport of geostrophically computed
angular momentum at 500 mb for the period 1 December 1955
to 28 February 1956 is obtained for Sault Ste. Marie,
Michigan. This transport is subjected to a cospectral
analysis to compute the contribution of harmonic waves with
periods 1-30 days to the total angular momentum transport.
Computations are made for two other stations, one east, and
one south of Sault Ste. Marie for comparison of transport as
related to general circulation processes.
The author is deeply indebted to Professor F. L. Martin,
Department of Meteorology, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School,
for his encouragement and invaluable aid in the preparation
of this manuscript.
