    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der hier abgeleitete Erhaltungs-Satz sagt Folgendes aus: Wenn $$\vec v$$ die absolute Geschwindigkeit, $$\vec \xi = curl\vec v$$ den absoluten Wirbel, σ=σ(p) das spezifische Volumen einer barotropen Flüssigkeit und ΔW den Gradienten der Wirkungsfunktion bedeuten, so gilt: $$\frac{D}{{Dt}}\left\{ {\sigma {\text{ }}\vec \xi (\vec v - \nabla W)} \right\} = 0,$$ wobei $$\frac{D}{{Dt}}$$ die individuelle Zeitableitung der Hydrodynamik darstellt.
    Notes: Summary The conservation-theorem derived here can be expressed thus: Let $$\vec v$$ be the absolute velocity and $$\vec \xi = curl\vec v$$ the absolute vorticity, further σ=σ(p) the specific volume of a barotropic fluid and ΔW the gradient of the actionW (=Hamilton's principal-function), then $$\frac{D}{{Dt}}\left\{ {\sigma {\text{ }}\vec \xi (\vec v - \nabla W)} \right\} = 0,$$ where $$\frac{D}{{Dt}}$$ denotes differentiation following the motion of the fluid.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ein Studium der chemischen Zusammensetzung von Proben des monatlichen Niederschlages einer Anzahl von Beobachtungsstationen in Schweden deckt die Existenz von deutlichen Schwankungen im relativen Verhältnis von Chlor und Natrium auf, welche vom allgemeinen Charakter der vorherrschenden Zirkulation abhängen. In maritimen westlichen Strömungen nimmt das Gewichtsverhältnis von Chlor zu Natrium gegen Osten zu auf Werte, welche weit unterhalb des charakteristischen Betrages für Meerwasser liegen, ab. Im Niederschlag, welcher aus arktischen oder polar-kontinentalen Luftmassen stammt, fehlt die Chlor-Komponente beinahe vollständig. Der höchste Betrag von Chlor relativ zu Natrium wurde im Niederschlag aus warmen und den meisten Luftmassen, welche Schweden vom Süden und Südosten erreichen, gefunden. Deutliche Schwankungen wurden auch in den Jahresmitteln des Verhältnisses Chlor zu Natrium beobachtet, welche von der Vorherrschaft der maritimen oder kontinentalen Luftströmungen abhängen. Eine schematische Karte der «mittleren» Chlor-Konzentration im Europäischen Niederschlag, welche mit Hilfe von verschiedenen älteren Daten entworfen wurde, unterstützt die Resultate der Analyse der Monatswerte. Die Trennung der chemischen Komponenten, welche durch diese Untersuchung angedeutet wird, scheint von beträchtlichem Interesse für die Erdchemie zu sein, da auf diese Weise verschiedene maritime Salze in weit auseinander liegenden Teilen der Kontinente abgelagert würden. Die ausführliche Arbeit wird in der Zeitschrift «Tellus», VII (1955), 1 veröffentlicht werden.
    Notes: Summary A study of the chemical composition of monthly precipitation samples from a number of stations in Sweden brings out the existence of significant variations in the relative proportions of chlorides and sodium depending upon the general character of the prevailing circulation. In maritime westerly flows the weight ratio of chloride to sodium decreases eastward to values which lie far below that value characteristic of sea water. In precipitation falling from arctic or polar continental air masses the chloride component is almost completely absent. The highest amounts of chlorides relative to sodium are observed in precipitation from warm and most air masses reaching Sweden from the south or southeast. Significant variations are observed also in the yearly means of the chloride to sodium ratio depending upon the dominance of maritime or continental air currents. A sketch map of the «average» chloride concentration in European precipitation prepared from miscellaneous older data lends support to the results of the analysis of the monthly data. The separation of the chemical components indicated by this study would seem to be of considerable geochemical interest since it would permit different maritime salts to be deposited in widely separated parts of the continents. The full paper will be published in «Tellus», VII (1955), 1.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary North American aerological data indicate that the wind distribution at the 200 and 300 mb levels often is characterized by the presence of elongated, slowly progressive and nearly parallel streaks of high wind separated from each other by belts of much weaker air motion. Particularly during the warmer part of the year this horizontal concentration of the momentum into a streaky pattern appears to be accompanied by an equally striking vertical concentration of momentum to the 200 or 300 mb level, with feeble winds prevailing above 150 mb and below 400 or 500 mb. As a tentative explanation for this behavior of the winds near the tropopause level it is suggested that stratified currents of prescribed volume transport, through frictional losses to the environment, seek to assume that particular distribution of wind velocity with height which corresponds to a minimum value of the momentum transfer per unit time across a vertical section through the current. On the assumption that momentum can be given off without destruction of the identity of the individual strata within the current it is possible to derive a basic relationship between the vertical gradient of wind velocity and of potential temperature in a current satisfying this minimum requirement. Stratified currents approaching this limiting state will normally pick up speed in the center and shrink in depth. This increase of wind speed in the center of the jet requires a pressure drop in the direction of the motion, indicating that local jets formed by this process must be of limited geographic extent and pressumably also of a transient character. The downstream decrease in the momentum transfer must be accompanied by the establishment of entrainment currents in the environment.
    Abstract: Résumé Des observations aérologiques en Amérique du Nord montrent que les courants aériens de la haute troposphère s'arrangent souvent en longs filets ou tubes distincts, parallèles, séparés par des espaces de moindre mouvement et qui se déplacent lentement dans le sens du courant général. Dans la saison chaude en particulier cette concentration de la quantité de mouvement en bandes horizontales relativement étroites semble être accompagnée d'une concentration analogue de la quantité de mouvement dans la verticale, au niveau de 200 à 300 mb, alors qu'au-dessus de 150 mb et au-dessous de 400 à 500 mb les vents sont faibles. Pour l'explication du phénomène on a admis que chaque courant de débit donné présentant une stratification stable doit tendre par frottement vers un état particulier de la distribution du vent selon l'altitude qui correspond à une valeur minimum de la quantité de mouvement par unité de temps dans une section verticale du dit courant. On peut calculer assez facilement une telle structure verticale en admettant que les quantités de mouvement du courant stratifié peuvent être échangées même lorsque les couches individuelles ne se mélangent pas et conservent par conséquent leur température potentielle. On peut encore exprimer cette condition en disant que dans un courant à stratification stable l'ordre de grandeur de l'échange turbulent des quantités de mouvement est plus élevé d'une dimension que celui qui se rapporte aux échanges de chaleur. Pour le calcul de l'état final asymptotique vers lequel tend le courant, on a en outre admis que l'inertie de l'atmosphère environnante s'oppose à une extension latérale du courant. Des flux stratifiés qui tendent vers cet état asymptotique subissent normalement un affaissement vertical et par conséquent une augmentation de vitesse en leur centre. Cette accélération centrale doit être évidemment liée à un gradient de pression dans la direction du mouvement, de sorte que de tels courants ne peuvent être stationnaires et n'interessent qu'un domaine limité. Pendant l'évolution décrite, les quantités de mouvement cédées doivent provoquer dans le milieu environnant des courants d'entraînement par lesquels les masses voisines sont entraînées.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Aerologische Beobachtungen aus Nordamerika zeigen, daß die Luftströmung in der oberen Troposphäre öfters aus mehreren Stromfäden besteht, die der Windrichtung parallel und durch Gürtel schwächerer Luftbewegung voneinander getrennt sind und sich langsam in der Stromrichtung verschieben. Besonders in der wärmeren Jahreszeit scheint diese faserige Struktur der horizontalen Windverteilung nicht selten von einer auffallendenvertikalen Verstärkung der Bewegungsgröße in einer verhältnismäßig dünnen Schicht im Niveau von 200 mb bis 300 mb begleitet zu sein, während unterhalb 400 bis 500 mb und oberhalb 150 mb schwache Winde vorherrschen. Um diese Verteilung zu erklären, wurde angenommen, daß jede stabil geschichtete Strömung von gegebenem Massentransport unter dem Einfluß von Reibungskräften zwar Änderungen in der vertikalen Verteilung von Windgeschwindigkeit und Schwerestabilität erfahren muß, aber asymptotisch einem Zustand zustrebt, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß der mit dem vorgegebenen, konstanten Massentransport verbundene Transport von Bewegungsgröße, bezogen auf die Zeiteinheit und den Strömungsquerschnitt, einen Minimalwert annimmt. Die zugehörige vertikale Struktur der Strömung läßt sich ziemlich einfach berechnen, wenn man die Annahme macht, daß die Bewegungsgrößen der geschichteten Strömung auch dann ausgetauscht werden können, wenn die einzelnen Schichten ungemischt bleiben und mithin ihre potentielle Temperatur beibehalten. Diese Annahme kann auch so ausgedrückt werden, daß in einer stabil geschichteten Strömung die Austauschgröße für Bewegungsgröße jedenfalls eine ganze Größenordnung höher sein muß als die betreffende, auf Wärme bezogene Größe. Bei der Berechnung des oben definierten asymptotischen Endzustandes wurde weiterhin angenommen, daß die Trägheitsstabilität der umgebenden Atmosphäre eine seitliche Ausbreitung des Stromes verhindert. Geschichtete Strömungen, die sich diesem asymptotischen Zustand anpassen, erfahren normalerweise eine vertikale Schrumpfung und mithin auch eine Zunahme der Windgeschwindigkeit in der Mitte des Stromes. Diese Beschleunigung muß offenbar mit einem Druckgefälle in der Bewegungsrichtung verbunden sein; in dieser Weise ausgebildete Ströme müssen somit wahrscheinlich nicht-stationär sein und nur begrenzte Ausdehnung haben. Die während der hier beschriebenen Entwicklung abgegebenen Bewegungsgrößen müssen in der Umgebung des Stromes zur Ausbildung von Mitführströmen („Entrainment Currents”) Anlaß geben; es müssen mithin die angrenzenden Luftmassen mitgerissen werden.

    Notes: [Auszug] The life of Meddies is of interest to oceanographers for at least two different reasons. One reason for tracking Meddies is to assess their role in the lateral dispersion of heat and salt2'7'8. The high-salinity Mediterranean outflow spreads into the North Atlantic to form a 'tongue' which can be ...

    Notes: Metabolic events stimulated by epinephrine and norepinephrine in hepatocytes isolated from fetal and early postnatal male rats are largely mediated through the β2-adrenergic receptor-/cyclic AMP dependent-system, whereas the same stimuli are transduced through the α1-adrenergic receptor-/phosphatidylinositol dependent-system in hepatocytes isolated from young adult male rats. This developmental transition was investigated by correlating hepatic α1- and β2-adrenergic receptor gene transcript levels with receptor levels as determined with selective radioligands in livers from late fetal to postnatal day 120 male Sprague-Dawley rats. β2-Adrenergic receptor concentration, initially high in membrane preparations isolated from fetal livers (203 ± 21 fmol/mg protein), dropped precipitously n postnatal day 6 livers (14± 2 fmol/mg protein) and remained low throughout development out to postnatal day 90.β-Adrenergic receptor mRNA levels were highest in fetal livers, were decreased somewhat in postnatal day 6 livers and were uncetectable in livers beyond postnatal day 15. In contrast, hepatic α-adrenergic receptor concentration was relatively low in fetal livers (86 ± 25 fmol/mg protein) and remained low until postnatal day 18. Thereafter, a steady increase in α1-adrenergic receptors was observed until adult levels. (270 ± 24 fmol/mg protein) were achieved at postnatal day 27. α1-Adrenergic receptor mRNA levels increased ∼ 3-fold, reaching a peak at postnatal day 24. Surprisingly, at postnatal day 30 hepatic α1-adrenergic receptor mRNA levels dropped to fetal levels; but, gradually increased with continued development. Thus, hepatic α1- and β2-adrenergic receptors appear to be under complex regulatory control which may include transcriptional, as well as post-transcriptional, mechanisms.

    Description: In recent years several studies have identified an area of intense anticyclonic activity about 500 km straight west of the Lofoten Islands at 70°N in the northern Norwegian Sea. Now recognized as the coherent Lofoten Basin Eddy (LBE), it is maintained by a supply of anticyclonic eddies that break away from the Norwegian Atlantic Current. Here we show from ship-based surveys of its velocity field that it is quite stable with a central core in solid body rotation ∼1000 m deep, ∼8 km radius and a relative vorticity close to its theoretical limit – f . The surveys also show the LBE typically has a 〉 60 km radius with maximum swirl velocities at 17-20 km radius. From the velocity field we estimate the dynamic height amplitude at the surface to be about ∼0.21 ± 0.03 dyn. m. Second, altimetry from the last 20 years shows the extremum in sea surface height relative to the surrounding waters to be about the same, 0.2 dyn. m. Third, a float trapped in the LBE for many months reveals a clear cyclonic wandering of the eddy over the deepest parts of the basin. Lastly, three hydrographic sections from the 1960s show the dynamic height signal to be virtually the same then as it is now. From these observations we conclude that the LBE is a permanent feature of the Nordic Seas and plays a central role in maintaining the pool of warm water in the western Lofoten Basin.

    Description: Using vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler data from four different routes between Scotland, Iceland and Greenland, we map out the mean flow of water in the top 400 m of the northeastern North Atlantic. The poleward transport east of the Reykjanes Ridge (RR) decreases from ~8.5 to 10 Sv (1 Sverdrup=10 6 m 3 s −1 ) at 59.5°N to 61°N to 6 Sv crossing the Iceland–Faroes–Scotland Ridge. The two longest ~1200 km transport integrals have 1.4–0.94 Sv uncertainty, respectively. The overall decrease in transport can in large measure be accounted for by a ~1.5 Sv flow across the RR into the Irminger Sea north of 59.5°N and by a ~0.5 Sv overflow of dense water along the Iceland–Faroes Ridge. A remaining 0.5 Sv flux divergence is at the edge of detectability, but if real could be accounted for through wintertime convection to 〉400 m and densification of upper ocean water. The topography of the Iceland Basin and the banks west of Scotland play a fundamental role in controlling flow pathways towards and past Iceland, the Faroes and Scotland. Most water flows north unimpeded through the Iceland Basin, some in the centre of the basin along the Maury Channel, and some along Hatton Bank, turning east along the northern slopes of George Bligh Bank, Lousy Bank and Bill Bailey’s Bank, whereupon the flow splits with ~3 Sv turning northwest towards the Iceland–Faroes Ridge and the remainder continuing east towards and north of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge (WTR) to the Scotland slope thereby increasing the Slope Current transport from ~1.5 Sv south of the WTR to 3.5 Sv in the Faroes–Shetland Channel.
