Abstract
A developing surface frontal system with an overlying polar front
jet and subtropical jet stream merging region was present over the continental
United States during 22 to 24 March, 1966. Possible crossover
flow between these two jet streams has been studied in detail by
isentropic air trajectories at four potential temperature levels from
310 K to 335 K. The results of the trajectory analyses on the four surfaces
have indicated a cross—over of air parcels from the subtropical jet
stream to the polar front jet stream. No evidence has been found for a
reciprocal relationship for air parcels initially associated with the
polar front jet between 310 K and 335 K isentropic levels.The results of the trajectory analyses on the four surfaces
