Abstract
The diabatic heating rate at 100mb is determined from the thermo­dynamic equation, utilizing previous calculations of the potential function x and the "vertical velocity" w, for the period 1-5 April 1963. The four basic terms of the expanded thermodynamic equation; storage, stream-velocity, x-potential advection, and vertical heat transport are examined individually, and added to obtain the diabatic heating rate which is compared to the results of previous investigations. The zonally-averaged heating rates are discussed in terms of stratosphere circulations and their associated physical mechanisms.

    The effects of sensible heat exchange on the dynamics of baroclinic waves 

    Haltiner, G.J. (Wiley Online, 1967-05);
    A diabatic two‐level model with variable static stability is investigated with respect to the dynamic stability and thermal structure of harmonic perturbations. The exchange of sensible heat is assumed to be proportional ...
