    Notes: Abstract A stochastic model is developed for a compartment with a single time-dependent input, and generalized to include inputs from several sources. With the number of particles of a given molecular species in the compartment as the random variable, the mean, variance and third central moment of this variable are calculated from its generating function, and compared with previous results. The behavior of the calculated moments is discussed, and the possibility of applying the model to chemical and biological systems is considered.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown that from the definition of organismic sets (Rashevsky,Organismic Sets. Some Reflections on the Nature of Life and Society, Holland, Michigan, Mathematical Biology, Inc. and Grosse Pointe, Michigan, J. M. Richards Laboratory) a complete sensory deprivation of an organismic set of ordern=2 should result in malfunctioning of the set. A generalization to higher order sets is suggested.

    Notes: Abstract Optimality in branching structure of the vascular tree was studied. Analysis on its physiological roles as the duct system for blood supply to the capillaries predicted that the vascular tree should be constructed with minimum volume under restriction of determinant pressure, flow and location at the origin and the terminals. Mathematical derivations of this conditional extremum problem yielded some equations expressing the relations between the radii of the branches and their branching angles, which provided numerical solutions for branching points of bi- and poli-terminal minimum volume trees. Comparison of the peritoneal vascular tree in a dog with the minimum volume one computed under the same restrictive conditions showed good agreement in their branching structure.

    Notes: Abstract In order to determine the kinetics of passage of a substance through an organ containing a tangle of vessels, we study the response of a tube to various inflows (perfusion, brief injection, ...). The introduction of the catabolic terms and of the spatial dependence between bulk concentration and surface concentration allows one to account for the difference of arteriovenous concentrations observed experimentally for many metabolites. The relationships between the physico-chemical parameters of the organ and the operational parameters of the model demonstrate the importance of the transit time through the considered vessels. If one considers the different pathways as independent, the introduction of the transit time distribution for an inert substance enables one to compute the response of the organ analytically or by recurrence, using convolution. The parameters of the model can be obtained by the moments method.

    Notes: Abstract The solution of the diffusion equation in the gas phase of the human lung is very difficult because of the structure of the bronchial tree. It is shown by means of physical arguments, how one can reduce the diffusion equation to a simple one-dimensional form. The solution is then obtained by a stochastic simulation, which is easily realized on a digital computer.

    Notes: Abstract A new mathematical model of the oscillatory behavior of the respiratory center has been developed based upon published records of neuronal activity during respiration in the pons and medulla. In contrast with a previous model, four, rather than two, networks are assumed to interact in the respiratory center so as to produce the respiratory oscillation. A mathematical description of this interaction, in the form of a set of four first-order, nonlinear, coupled differential equations, is derived; the behavior of the solutions of this system is studied qualitatively, and expressions for the durations of the inspiratory and expiratory phases are obtained in terms of some parameters. It is found that central and chemical influences drive the medullar neurons to a position somewhere between saturation and full cutoff, and the pontine neurons deeply into cutoff. The control of the duration of the different phases by these chemical and central means is discussed. In order to effect a decrease in the magnitude of the various times, the neurons have to be driven towards operating points of higher central facilitation.

    Notes: Abstract In vivo control of calcium is analysed under the assumption that hormonal influences via plasma levels of parathormone and calcitonin are of prime (but not absolutely dominating) importance. A brief review concerning the physiological significance of body calcium and the mode of action of these two hormones is presented as an introduction to the basic philosophy of the study. A theoretical quasi-linear lumped-parameter model is developed to describe variations in ionic calcium, parathormone and calcitonin plasma concentrations to specific input stimuli. Formal evaluation of the system response requires the determination of ten constants, together with quantitation of ingested calcium entry into the plasma compartment which isindependent of hormonal influences. Values for various parameters are deduced from published data and experimental procedures are outlined to facilitate determination of the remaining unknowns. It is suggested that the proposed model should prove useful for investigations concerning general hormonal actions on calcium homeostatic mechanisms in both normal and diseased states, with particular reference to calcitonin.

    Notes: Abstract Ann species predator-prey chain is analyzed to determine what oscillations occur in population sizes. It is found that only the populations of the first and second species in the chain must necessarily oscillate around the point of equilibrium if they do not come to equilibrium. The other species may or may not oscillate.

    Notes: Abstract Sangren and Sheppard developed a mathematical model for first-order processes taking place in the regional circulation, applicable—for example—to tracer studies of potassium transport. It permits calculation of specific activity at any point along a “tube of flow” or in the cuff of tissue surrounding it as a function of time following a spike injection of tracer. In efforts to relate to the exchange a rate curves obtained within vivo counters pointed at the region of interest, we developed a compartment-system model of the process. In investigating the properties of the Sangren and Sheppard model integrated over an entire circulatory bed, as thein vivo counter would see it, we found that when the distribution of transit times of the “tubes of flow” can be approximated by an exponential sum, the solution reduces to that of the compartment system model. This results in an important simplification in the calculation, and insight into the assumptions underlying the two different models. A curve-fitting computer program for the compartment model has been written and applied to double-isotope studies of potassium transport in the hind leg of the dog.

    Notes: Abstract Two chemicals,A andB, are allowed to diffuse together and a reaction described by $$A + B\mathop \rightleftharpoons \limits_{K_{ - 1} }^{K_1 } C$$ is allowed to proceed. This system is described mathematically by a system of partial differential equations. A numerical procedure is presented to find the rate constants ofK 1 andK −1. A systematic analysis of the effects of errors is also presented.

    Notes: Abstract Equations are developed to describe the energy expenditure of the human heart. As well as the external potential and kinetic energy terms, general consideration is given to other possible avenues of energy consumption. Emphasis is placed upon using mathematical variables which are readily available for experimental verification. The errors involved in assuming that mean values for the physiological parameters give reasonable estimations for the external mechanical performance are examined, and a theoretical estimation for the discrepancy in the kinetic component is presented. Logical extension of the mathematical derivation leads to a determination of cardiac external mechanical efficiency and clearly demonstrates the significance of the ventricular pressure-volume loop in this context. Finally, experimental procedures are suggested to clarify further some of the conclusions reached through the theoretical analysis.

    Notes: Abstract The question is discussed as to the reason why some animal societies, such as bees or ants, are sexually differentiated, that is, onlysome of its members are exhibiting reproducing activities. It is indicated that human society may be on its way to such a sexual differentiation which may eventually come.

    Notes: Abstract As a further attempt to determine the stresses and strains of the individual myocardial fibers, the heart muscle is considered as an orthotropic material. A theory is presented which leads to the expression of the equilibrium conditions for the left ventricle in the form of three simultaneous differential equations. Solution of these equations would give the changes in shape of the left ventricle throughout the cardiac cycle, and, in addition, the stresses and strains of the individual myocardial fibers. It is pointed out, however, that meaningful solutions of the equations cannot be obtained at the present time because of difficulties in experimental determination of certain parameters.

    Notes: Abstract This paper compares two previously published neural models for epilepsies (Bull. Math. Biophysics,33, 539–553, 1971;34, 71–78, 1972). The second model is developed in more detail and an attempt is made to bring it more in line with established neurological findings. The question of classification of some epilepsies is briefly discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A formal mathematical model is proposed for a spontaneously repetitively firing neuron. It is based on the assumption that an excitatory and inhibitory substance, possibly different from those involved in synaptic transmissions, is formed in the soma of everynormal neuron. Furthermore, the decay of the substances is ascribed to their combination with some other substances, present in healthy individuals. A generalized two factor system of differential equations is used. It is shown that when the normally present substances are absent, possibly due to genetic defects so that the decay constants become zero, the equations lead to undamped sinusoidal solutions of the difference between excitatory and inhibitory factors, thus producing a trulyspontaneous repetitive discharge, in the absence of external currents or other stimulation. It is suggested that convulsants may act by destroying the substances present in healthy individuals. It is further suggested that by administering to epileptics those substances, which are present in normal healthy persons, perhaps by using brain extracts fromhealthy higher animals which sometimes suffer from epilepsy, an actual cure rather than symptomatic treatment by anticonvulsants may be obtained.

    Notes: Abstract The general kinetic behavior of a multicompartment system is shown to depend upon certain general structural features, including its connectivity, whether it is open, and whether it contains cyclic pathways. Structural influences are clarified by putting the system matrix in a certain form. For systems not strongly connected, a distinction is drawn between partially and completely open systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for non-singularity of the system matrix and for asymptotic stability of the system. Sufficient conditions are given for non-overshooting and monotonic transitions. A system is demonstrated whose solution may contain a prolonged series of damped oscillations; but the oscillations are very slow and small; and it seems unlikely that oscillations could be detected experimentally in any biological system.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown how the fundamental laws of chemical kinetics for either open or closed systems with an arbitrarily large number of reactants can be represented as a system of Riccati-like differential equations. Through the use of a concise tensor notation, it is shown when and how the differential system is exactly reducible to linear form, a reduction without approximation that parallels the well-known similar reduction of a single simle Riccati equation. An example is worked out to show how open kinetics can lead to oscillatory chemical concentrations of the Change-Higgins type. The biologically central problem of great chemical speciation is discussed from the viewpoint of Gibbs ensemble theory within the linearized kinetics and, approximately, within the starting nonlinear kinetics where it is shown roughly how to estimate, from an overall temperature-like parameter characterizing the whole system, mean chemical levels and mean frequencies of oscillation, and where a gross oscillation of the total mass is estimated in terms of an anharmonic oscillator whose general structure is fixed from the structure of the chemical kinetic laws.

    Notes: Abstract A closed chain of compartments in which there is unidirectional transport between adjacent members can exhibit damped oscillations. For a system ofn equivalent compartments, the value ofn which gives the greatest difference between the first maximum and first minimum isn=11, the difference being 1.57%. The greatest difference between the first maximum value and the steady state value is 4% and is obtained whenn=25. The results are illustrated graphically forn equal to 5, 10, 25 and 100.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is a concrete approach to the problem of the number of the sexes. We try to imagine—on the example of three sexes—the mechanisms which would have to accompany a reproduction with several sexes. We have limited our study to the monohybridism, dihybridism and determinism of the sex.

    Notes: Abstract The dipole models for steady-state currents in excitable membranes of Arndt, Bond and Roper and of Hamel and Zimmerman are compared by fitting the equations to the data of Gilbert and Ehrenstein. The more complex Hammel and Zimmerman model does not fit the data as well as does the simpler Arndt, Bond and Reper model. When fitting the data, the Hammel and Zimmerman current equation reduces to the Arndt, Bond and Roper current equation because of the values assumed by the parameters. An interpretation is given for the parameter values obtained with the Arndt, Bond and Roper model.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown that, under rather general conditions, it is possible to formally decompose the dynamics of ann-dimensional dynamical system into a number of non-interacting subsystems. It is shown that these decompositions are in general not simply related to the kinds of observational procedures in terms of which the original state variables of the system are defined. Some consequences of this construction for reductionism in biology are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract For a certain class of physical machines, termed “structure-determined,” the problem of self-reproduction can be reduced to the problem of serial message reproduction. Serial message reproduction however presupposes a sort of “open system” constraint. This leads to the principle of pseudo, or exogenously standardized, respectively, self-reproduction. It seems to be consistent with both chemical and biological self-reproduction. It thus may reflect a general principle of biological design. The proposed principle is a physico chemical analog to Robert Rosen's abstract relational self-reproduction constraint.

    Notes: Abstract Equations are derived describing potentials due to an active muscle fiber in an infinite medium in terms of two surface integrals—one of the propagated action potential and the other of the membrane current density, both integrals being taken over the surface of the muscle. These equations are incorporated into an equivalent cardiac current generator in which the left ventricle (i.e. the current source) is represented by a three-dimensional wedge and the thorax (i.e. the volume conductor), by a homogeneous circular cylinder. Since this current generator expresses the body surface potentials in terms of the membrane current density and the membrane potential at any point on the surface of the electrically active muscle fiber, the calculated ECG can be correlated with theactual sources within the heart. This equivalent cardiac generator possesses many of the physical and physiological properties of cardiac muscle. The equations were evaluated numerically on a digital computer. The results indicate that equivalent cardiac current generators of this type can yield clinically significant results and that further research is necessary to investigate their properties fully.

    Notes: Abstract Two mathematical models of pulmonary single breath gas washout (one analytic, one numerical) are developed and their predictions compared with experimental data on human subjects. Weibel's 23 generation symmetric anatomical model is used as a guide to bronchial tree geometry. Experimental plots of nitrogen concentration versus volume expired, dead space versus breath holding time, and dead space versus tidal volume are compared with plots predicted by the models. Agreement is good. A plot of nitrogen concentration in the airways as predicted by the numerical model at different times during inhalation and exhalation of a single breath of oxygen is shown. Model predictions for changes in dead space with changes in washout gas and expiratory flow rate are discussed. Use of the analytic model for obtaining average values of the path length from mouth to alveoli in a given subject is discussed. To the extent of their agreement with experiment, the models provide a sound physical basis for the correlation of airway structure and function.

    Notes: Abstract The Roginsky-Zeldovich (or Elovich) equation, which is −dx/dt=m exp (nx) (x=substrate concentration,t=time,m andn=constants), describes the kinetics of various biological electron and ion transport processes, and has been derived from the concept of charge transport across an activation energy barrier at an interface between dissimilar phases, driven by a difference in redox or ion potentials, with the simplifying assumptions that charge carrier concentration is constant, backward current across the interface is zero, and diffusion of substrate is fast. If charge carrier concentration is proportional to substrate concentration, then the kinetic equation is −dx/dt=mx exp (nx). If backward current is not zero, then −dx/dt=m 1 exp (n 1x) −m 2 exp (n 2 x), wherem 1,m 2,n 1 andn 2 are constants. Kinetic equations for interfacial charge transport in the presence of a significant substrate diffusion potential are also derived.

    Notes: Abstract A method is described for estimating cell-cycle parameters from experimental fraction-of-labeled-mitoses measurements. The method is closely related to that of J. C. Barrett (1970) but is based on the analysis of Brockwell and Trucco (1970) which takes into account population growth in the calculation of theoreticalFLM-functions. Several sets of experimental data are analyzed, among them the data for the Marshall tumor considered by Barrett. It is found that population growth has a small but nevertheless detectable effect on the estimates of the cell parameters.

    Notes: Abstract The radioactivity disappearance curves of glucose-6-14C albumin-I131 after a single injection of tracer into a human subject have been determined in detail, particularly at early time intervals. The curves, expressed as sums of exponentials, have been analyzed as the infinite sum of convolutions of single passage time densities. The resultant transfer time distribution of a single circulatory pass allows examination of all delays in the system no matter how long they take. The structural detail evident by this means and the long mean time of a single pass of glucose (〉5 min) supports the thesis that factors other than rapid and uniform diffusion play a role in the extravascular movements of glucose molecules.

    Notes: Abstract A bisexual multiple branching process is studied. Consider a population with respect to three genotypes in both the female and male populations and let $$X(n) = \left\langle {X_1 (n), X_2 (n), X_3 (n)} \right\rangle and Y(n) = \left\langle {Y_1 (n), Y_2 (n), Y_3 (n)} \right\rangle$$ be random vectors giving the number of females and males (respectively) of each genotype in generationn. The mating of females and males is accommodated in the model withZ ij (n) representing the number of females of theith genotype mated with a male of thejth genotype in generationn. The mating system is such that a female may be mated to only one male but a male may be mated with more than one female. By arranging the nine random variablesZ ij (n),i, j=1, 2, 3, in a 1×9, vectorZ(n) it is shown that under certain conditions there is a positive constant ϱ such that when ϱ〉1 the vectorsZ n /ρn,X n /ρn andY n /ρn converge almost surely asn→∞ to random vectors with fixed directions. The paper is divided into four sections. In section 1 the model is described in detail and its potential applications to population genetics are discussed. In section 2, the generating function of the transition probabilities of theZ-process are derived. Section3 is devoted to the study of the limiting behavior of the first and second moments of theZ-process, and in section4 the results of section3 are utilized to study the behavior of the random vectorsZ(n),X(n) andY(n) asn→∞.

    Notes: Abstract Herein we show that the voltage-clamp current density at zero time calculated from electrodiffusion equations is linear in the clamping voltage for a simple membrane (no charge structure) and for a membrae with fixed charges. Such membranes are nonexcitable. Excitable membranes can be represented by a homogeneous membrane with dipole layers at the surface. In this case the initial current density will be linear in the clamping voltage if a critical field for a dipole layer reorientation is not passed through in changing from holding to clamping potential. Otherwise, deviation from nonlinearity may occur. This is in agreement with experimental data for the squid giant axon.

    Notes: Abstract By generalizing a previous paper on periodicities in the endocrine system (Bull. Math. Biophysics,30, 735–749, 1968), it is shown that nonperiodic, sporadic oscillations in the system are also possible. A procedure of describing the feedback mechanism between the endocrine system and the central nervous system is suggested. It is shown that the combined system: endocrine—CNS, also may show sporadic fluctuations.

    Notes: Abstract This paper deals with a mathematical attempt to determine the wall shear during normal flow of blood in the ascending and the descending thoracic aorta. A simple model is used, but the results obtained are in agreement with published experimental results for the descending thoracic aorta. It is suggested that the degree of fluctuation in the pressure gradient at a given station is the major factor in determining the level of wall shear at that point.

    Notes: Abstract A neural model based on a generalization of a model proposed in 1938 in the first edition of the author'sMathematical Biophysics (Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press) is described. It possesses the property that due to some endogenous or exogenous stimulus, which may be of random nature, a pathway may suddenly begin to fire spontaneously. This spontaneous firing may either gradually spread over other pathways and eventually cease, or it may remain localized within one or a few pathways and then cease. Which of the two types of events occurs depends on the values of a number of parameters. The case of spreading reminds one of Jacksonian epilepsy.

    Notes: Abstract The diffusion equation is solved for a membrane-bounded sphere situated in an infinite medium with different diffusion properties. The formal solution is obtained through Laplace transformation in the time variable. It is not possible to find a closed form solution in terms of analytical functions, and therefore a numerical inversion technique is applied to obtain the final solution. The application on a biological problem is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown that the individual rate constants can be determined for the composite chemical system: $$A + B_i \rightleftarrows C_i ; i = 1...N$$ with only measurements of the unbound species,A(t), required. The dissociation rate constants can be determined by direct analysis of a single steady state tracer study. The association constants then follow from the analysis of stable equilibrium determinations reported earlier (Hart, 1965). An approximate solution when tracer methods are in-applicable is also given.

    Notes: Abstract Certain arrangements of enzymatic (bimolecular) subsystems lead to characteristic threshold-type response. Two simple cases of such systems are studied here in terms of steady state behavior and explicit relationships between system and curve parameters. It is found that the curvature of the threshold curve is directly related to the equivalent Michaelis constant and, in the case of saturated threshold curve, the slope of the curve at the idealized threshold is limited by the ratio of saturation to threshold. This slope may be appreciably increased up to a stepwise response at the threshold if a multisubstrate complex of the enzyme is the only species which affects the enzyme mediated transport.

    Notes: Abstract Many experimental studies have indicated that the intraocular pressure is subject to mediation by adrenergic mechanisms affecting both the rate of formation of the aqueous humor and the resistance of the pathway through which the aqueous humor flows out of the eye. Thus, for example, the role of adrenergic drugs in glaucoma therapy is well known. How the mediation is accomplished has not been clarified in detail. Several possible mechanisms have been suggested, and all may indeed be involved. The present study is concerned with the basis and mathematical formulation of one of them and the consequences with respect to aqueous dynamics. The analysis leads to expressions for the aqueous outflow resistance and the formation rate, as well as other quantities of interest. The theoretical behavior is shown to compare favorably with the results of infusion studies and various other experiments, and to provide a unified picture of much of the pressure-flow behavior of both the living and the dead eye.

    Notes: Abstract Following Wei's suggestion that nerve stimulation and conduction properties are due to dipole layers at the two membrane surfaces (Wei, 1969), we have done steady-state electro-diffusion calculations in the constant field approximation for a simple double-dipole-layer model. We are thereby able to quantitatively fit the recent potassium iso-osmotic rectification curves of Gilbert and Ehrenstein for the squid giant axon membrane. For the squid axon membrane in a natural ion environment, only the outside dipole layer is present in the fit to the data.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper the left ventricle of the heart was considered as a shell of varying thickness. The first and second fundamental forms of the middle surface, of the shell, as well as Euler's theorem were used for deriving expressions giving the length and curvature of the individual myocardial fibers. Recent anatomical studies have shown that the myocardial fibers in the middle of the left ventricular wall follow a course nearly parallel to the horizontal plane (Streeteret al., 1969). In previous papers (Voukydis 1969, 1970) a mathematical description of the curvature and length of the individual myocardial fibers was presented. Unfortunately, both the curvature and the length formulas contained the cotangent of the fiber helix angle, which approaches infinity as the fiber assumes a course parallel to the horizontal plane. Consequently, these two formulas cannot be used for fibers nearly parallel to the horizontal plane. The present paper will give an alternative way for calculating the length and curvature of the individual myocardial fibers, based on the fundamental forms of surface and on Euler's theorem.

    Notes: Abstract It is pointed out that the successes obtained in the mathematical biology of the central nervous system are based mostly on a number of more or less complicated neuronic circuit models, each inventedad hoc for the purpose of explaining a given phenomenon. The individual models remain disconnected from each other, however, and the unity of the CNS is not apparent. (Rashevsky,Mathematical Biophysics, 3rd Edition, Vol. II, 1960. New York, Dover Publications, Inc.) Some “field theories” of the CNS, as for example that of Griffith (Bull. Math. Biophysics,25, 111–120, 1963;27, 187–195, 1965), give more expression to this unity but lose in the explanation of specific phenomena. The present paper starts with the picture thatevery neuron in the brain isdirectly or indirectly affected to some extent byevery other neuron. This leads to a system of equations with a very large number of variables. Such a system can be replaced in the limiting case by an integral equation of the first kind. At least two specific results can be obtained with this approach and suggestions for further improvement are made.

    Notes: Abstract Pressure-volume and volume-dimensions relationships, obtained from excised dog left ventricles were used for calculating the stresses acting along the longitudinal axis of the individual myocardial fibers. The calculations were based on a set of empirical and theoretical equations. The pressure-volume relationship as well as the volume-dimensions relationships for the excised left ventricle were expressed in the form of empirical equations; the fiber orientation was written as a function of the fiber location within the left ventricular wall; finally, the fiber stress was determined by means of theoretically derived formulas. Simultaneous solutions for the fibers of a meridian cut through the left ventricular myocardial shell were obtained by means of a digital computer and presented in the form of diagrams. The results showed that at low degrees of distension of the left ventricle there are two zones of higher stresses at the equatorial area, one near the epicardium and one near the endocardium. As the distension proceeds under the effect of progressively increasing intraventricular pressure, these two zones become less well defined, whereas a new zone of higher stresses appears near the apex. At high degrees of distension, the ventricle assumes a more spherical shape and the equatorial zones of higher stresses are replaced by zones of lower stresses. Increase in the myocardial mass results in appearance of the equatorial lower stress zones at lower degrees of distension.

    Notes: Abstract An algorithm for minimization of functions of many variables, subject possibly to linear constraints on the variables, is described. In it a subproblem is solved in which a quadratic approximation is made to the object function and minimized over a region in which the approximation is valid. A strategy for deciding when this region should be expanded or contracted is given. The quadratic approximation involves estimating the hessian of the object function by a matrix which is updated at each iteration by a formula recently reported by Powell [6]. This formula enables convergence of the algorithm from any feasible point to be proved. Use of such an approximation, as against using exact second derivatives, also enables a reduction of about 60% to be made in the number of operations to solve the subproblem. Numerical evidence is reported showing that the algorithm is efficient in the number of function evaluations required to solve well known test problems.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract A coherence is pointed out between a general spline-approximation and the dynamic programming. In this way it is possible to construct a numerical method for the solution of complicated approximation problems. For instance eachLp-approximation including the Tschebyscheff-approximation problem may be solved regarding inequality constraints between the element parameters of the spline function and varying the generally fixed spline knots. Moreover it is possible to treat more general problems arising from optimisation calculations during the design of roads.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Es wird ein Zusammenhang hergestellt zwischen einer verallgemeinerten Spline-Approximation und der dynamischen Optimierung. Dadurch ist es möglich, ein numerisches Verfahren zur Lösung von komplizierten Approximationsaufgaben anzugeben. Beispielsweise läßt sich damit jedeLp-Approximation einschließlich der Tschebyscheff-Approximation numerisch behandeln unter Berücksichtigung von Ungleichungsnebenbedingungen zwischen den Elementparametern der Spline-Funktion und unter Freigabe der üblicherweise festgehaltenen Spline-Knoten. Darüber hinaus lassen sich dadurch allgemeinere Aufgaben lösen, die bei Optimierungsberechnungen während der Entwurfsbearbeitung von Straßen auftreten können.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract As well known, Gauss-quadrature formulas are constructed by integration of suitably choosen Hermitian interpolating polynomials. At first, a general linear interpolating operator and its error-term are given. Integrating this operator, one yields quadrature formulas containing some first derivatives of the integrand-function. By the requirement, that the weights of these derivatives should vanish all together, we get general quadrature formulas of Gauss-type. For some special basic functions of the interpolating operator, vanishing of the weights of the derivatives is necessary for minimization of the quadrature error. The general Gauss-quadratures may be determinated algebraically if sufficiently many fix-elements of the interpolating operator are known. As special cases one has, besides the known usual Gauss-quadratures and Wilf's quadrature procedure, a very surprising result.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Gaußschen Quadraturformeln erhält man bekanntlich durch Integration geeignet gewählter Hermitescher Interpolationspolynome. Zunächst wird hier ein allgemeiner linearer Interpolationsoperator mit Restglied angegeben. Durch Integration dieses Operators erhält man Quadraturformeln die neben Funktionswerten auch Werte der 1. Ableitung des Integranden enthalten. Fordert man, daß die Gewichte dieser Ableitungswerte sämtlich verschwinden, so erhält man allgemeine Gaußsche Quadraturformeln. Bei speziellen Arten von Basisfunktionen des Interpolationsoperators ist das Verschwinden der Gewichte der Ableitungswerte notwendig für die Minimierung des Quadraturrestes. Die allgemeinen Gaußschen Quadraturformeln lassen sich bei Kenntnis von hinreichend vielen Fixelementen des Interpolations-operators auch algebraisch herleiten. Als Sonderfälle erhält man neben der bekannten gewöhnlichen Gauß-Quadratur das Wilfsche Quadraturverfahren, ein sehr überraschendes Ergebnis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract In Part I is shown, how to decompose a connected graph into triply connected components in a canonical manner and how to compute a standard form of an arbitrary graph from standard forms of triply connected graphs. Hence, in part II a method is given, which allows to construct a standard form of triply connected planar graphs. Besides that, an ALGOL-program is presented which realizes both this method and a planarity criterium.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract In this paper an intervalanalytic generalization of the theorem ofPrager-Oettli is used to characterize the solution-set of an, n-system of linear equations with interval coefficients as union of convex polyhedra with special properties. Then it is shown how to deduce from the theorem ofPrager-Oettli a nearly optimaln-interval contained in the solution-set. On the other hand the problem of finding with reasonable expense sharpn-intervals containing the solution-set is solved only for special cases. Some results on this problem are discussed; a numerical example shows the importance of criteria, under which sharpn-intervals can be computed with reasonable effort.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird mit Hilfe einer intervallanalytischen Verallgemeinerung des Satzes vonPrager-Oettli die Lösungsmenge von Intervallgleichungssystemen als Vereinigung von konvexen Polyedern mit speziellen Eigenschaften charakterisiert. Anschließend wird gezeigt, wie sich aus dem Satz vonPrager-Oettli brauchbare Innenabschätzungen der Lösungsmenge ableiten lassen. Dagegen ist das Problem, möglichst scharfe Außenabschätzungen mit vertretbarem Aufwand zu bestimmen, vorerst nur unter gewissen Voraussetzungen gelöst. Einige Ergebnisse zu diesem Problem werden diskutiert; ein numerisches Beispiel verdeutlicht die Bedeutung von Kriterien, unter denen scharfe Außenabschätzungen mit vertretbarem Aufwand berechnet werden können.

In this connection also a sufficient condition is proved for the uniqueness of the above mentioned cyclic order in every drawing without crossings.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die asymptotische Verteilung der Anzahl von Klumpen gegebener Größe und topologischer Struktur innerhalb des folgenden Modells untersucht: Sindx 1, ...,x n Punkte im ℝ n und istU=-U⊂ℝ eine symmetrische Menge, dannüberlappen sich die Punktex i undx j , oder besser, sie bilden eineU-Koinzidenz, genau dann, wennx i −x j ∈U gilt. Wir ordnen den Punktenx 1, ...,x n undU den sogenanntenKoinzidenzgraphen G(x 1, ...,x n ;U)≔≔({1, ...,n}, {[i, j]:1≤i〈j≤n, x i −x j ∈U}) zu und fragen nach der AnzahlL(x 1, ...,x n ;U, H) zusammenhängender Komponenten vonG(...), die zu einem festen GraphenH isomorph sind. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die asymptotische Verteilung vonL(...) unter verschiedenen Voraussetzungen über die Verteilung der Punktex 1, ...,x n sowie die Größe vonU untersucht. In Abhängigkeit von diesen Voraussetzungen ist die asymptotische Verteilung vonL(...) entweder eine Normal- oder eine Poisson-Verteilung.
    Notes: Abstract When objects are scattered at random in the plane or in space, some of them overlap to form clumps. It is the object of the present paper to study the asymptotic distribution of the number of clumps of given size and topological structure generated within the following model: Ifx 1, ...,x n are points in ℝ n andU=-U⊂ℝ n is a symmetric set, then the pointsx i andx j are said tooverlap or rather to form aU-coincidence, ifx i −x j ∈U. Adjoining tox 1, ...,x n andU, the graphG(x 1, ...,x n ;U)≔({1, ..., n}, {[i, j]:1≤i〈j≤n;x i −x j ∈U}), the so calledcoincidence-graph, we ask for the number of connected components of this graph isomorphic to a given graphH and call this numberL9x 1, ...x n ;U, H). In the paper, the asymptotic distribution ofL(...) under various assumptions about the distribution of the pointsx 1, ...,x n and the size ofU is studied. Depending on these assumptions, we prove that the asymptotic distribution ofL(...) is either Poisson or normal.

The latter influence proves to be more powerful than the first one, and taking it into consideration the result is in satisfactory agreement with the observed values.

Seulement en en tenant compte le résultat correspond d'une façon satisfaisante aux conditions observées.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A verification of the prognostic formula for predicting the height profile of the 500 mb pressure surface at a fixed latitude derived byCharney andEliassen shows that a practical application is limited at least for the period under consideration (January 1949). Only in case of relatively small perturbations and rather uniform current along the latitude circle the formula seems to be successful in day-to-day forecast procedures.
    Abstract: Résumé Une vérification portant sur le mois de janvier 1949 de la formule pronostique établie parCharney etEliassen et applicable aux variations de la surface de 500 mb. le long d'un parallèle géographique déterminé montre que son emploi dans la pratique de la prévision du temps est encore douteux. Ce n'est que dans le cas d'une composante zonale du vent à peu près uniforme et lors de petites perturbations correspondantes qu'une prévision calculée de la tendance de pression de l'onde supérieure de pression en un lieu déterminé semble possible.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Eine Überprüfung der vonCharney undEliassen abgeleiteten Prognosenformel für Änderungen der 500 mb-Fläche entlang einer bestimmten geographischen Breite ergibt, daß in den untersuchten Fällen (Januar 1949) eine Verwendung im praktischen Wetterdienst noch fraglich ist. Nur bei verhältnismäßig einheitlicher zonaler Windkomponente und bei entsprechend kleinen Störungen scheint eine Vorausberechnung der Drucktendenz der „oberen” Druckwelle für einen bestimmten Ort mit Hilfe der Formel möglich zu sein.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary First a brief survey is given of the wind effect on the phenomena of rising and ebbing water masses on the oceanic coasts. Particularly, the results obtained byH. U. Sverdrup andR. H. Fleming from successive oceanographic measurements of a profile perpendicular to the Californian coast are discussed. From them a convenient scheme is concluded for the development of cold coastal water out of a preceding stage of warm water. The great number of observation data of the Marine Life Research Programe obtained ever since 1949 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California) at La Jolla from monthly oceanographic measurements of the area off the North American western coast allows a deeper insight into the important phenomenon of upwelling cold water in the area. A preliminary study of two opposite situations of rising and ebbing water masses showed the wind disturbance to consist of two parts: 1. of a disturbance of the ground distribution which generates the regular Californian current, the disturbance consisting in generally weakening or intensifying this current; 2. of a wave disturbance perpendicular to the coast proceeding from the rising, respectively ebbing coastal water masses. These relations could be established quantitatively by a simple theoretical model. A theoretical case with numerical values approximately corresponding to the conditions off the Californian coast showed good agreement with the observed facts.
    Abstract: Résumé On donne tout d'abord un court aperçu de l'effet du vent sur le flux et le reflux de masses d'eau sur les côtes océaniques. On expose en particulier les résultats obtenus parH. U. Sverdrup etR. H. Fleming à l'aide de profils successifs, normaux à la côte californienne. Ils fournissent un schéma convenable pour la formation d'une masse d'eau côtière froide dérivant d'un stade préalable d'eaux chaudes. Le grand matériel d'observations du Marine Life Research programme obtenu depuis 1949 par la Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California, La Jolla) sous forme de relevés océanographiques mensuels du domaine marin de la côte occidentale de l'Amérique du Nord permettra d'approfondir nos connaissances sur le phénomène de l'advection ascensionnelle d'eau froide important en ces régions. Une étude préliminaire de deux situations opposées de flux et de reflux de masses d'eau a montré que l'effet du vent se décompose en: 1o une perturbation de la répartition de base donnant naissance au courant régulier de Californie et qui consiste à affaiblir ou à renforcer respectivement ce courant; 2o une perturbation de nature ondulatoire, perpendiculaire à la côte, provenant du flux ou du reflux des masses d'eau le long de la côte. Un modèle théorique simple a permis de soumettre ces relations au calcul, et la comparaison d'un cas théorique dont les dimensions correspondaient approximativement aux conditions régnant devant la côte californienne a fourni un bon accord avec les faits observés.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Einleitend wird eine kurze Übersicht der Wirkung der Winde beim Zustandekommen der Erscheinungen des Anstaues und Abtriebes von Wassermassen an ozeanischen Küsten gegeben. Insbesondere werden die Ergebnisse vonH. U. Sverdrup undR. H. Fleming besprochen, die sie aus aufeinanderfolgenden ozeanographischen Aufnahmen eines Profils senkrecht zur kalifornischen Küste gewonnen haben. Sie ergeben ein passendes Schema für die Entwicklung eines kalten Küstenwassers aus einem Vorstadium mit warmem Wasser. Das große Beobachtungsmaterial des Marine Life Research Programs, das seit 1949 von der Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California) in La Jolla in monatlichen ozeanographischen Aufnahmen des Meeresgebietes vor der nordamerikanischen Westküste gewonnen wird, wird die Kenntnisse des für diese Gebiete wichtigen Kaltwasserauftriebsphänomens wesentlich zu vertiefen gestatten. Eine vorläufige Bearbeitung zweier konträrer Situationen von Anstau und Abtrieb von Wassermassen zeigte, daß die Windstörung aus zwei Teilen besteht: 1. Aus einer Störung der Grundverteilung, der der reguläre kalifornische Strom entspringt und die in einer allgemeinen Schwächung bzw. Verstärkung desselben besteht, und 2. aus einer Wellenstörung senkrecht zur Küste, die von Anstau bzw. Abtrieb der Wassermassen an der Küste ihren Ausgang nimmt. Ein einfaches theoretisches Modell ließ diese Zusammenhänge zahlenmäßig erfassen, und ein Vergleich eines theoretischen Falles mit Zahlenwerten, die ungefähr den Verhältnissen vor der kalifornischen Küste entsprechen, mit den Beobachtungstatsachen ergab gute Übereinstimmung.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The relatively big thermal mass of radio-sondes as compared with their thermometer, can falsify the measurement of the temperature above 7 to 8 km., what is called the thermal “training effect”, (lag effect); this effect has been described in the Annals of the Swiss Central Meteorological Institute [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. The present paper shows the influence of the training effect on the former Swiss official sonde. The difference of temperature has been measured by means of a series of soundings where this type was coupled at the same balloon with a special sonde where this effect had been avoided.
    Abstract: Résumé Letrainage thermique, provenant de la grande masse calorifique des sondes peut fausser notablement la mesure de température dès 7 à 8 km d'altitude. La théorie de cet effet a été publié dans les Annales de la Centrale Suisse de Météorologie [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. L'article présent décrit l'influence du trainage thermique sur l'ancienne sonde du service suisse. II a été mesuré à l'aide d'une série de sondage, en comparant l'indication de température de cette sonde, avec celle d'une sonde spéciale dénuée de trainage thermique et suspendue au même ballon.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die gegenüber dem Radiosondenthermometer relativ große Masse der übrigen Sondenteile bildet die Ursache einer Temperaturfalschmessung ab zirka 7 bis 8 km Höhe, welcheTrainageeffekt genannt wird, und in verschiedenen Arbeiten in den Annalen der Schweizerischen Meteorologischen Zentralanstalt [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] beschrieben wurde. In vorliegender Arbeit wird der Einfluß dieses Effektes auf die frühere schweizerische Dienstsonde gemessen. Zu diesem Zwecke wurde dieser Sondentyp jeweils zusammen mit einer Spezialsonde am gleichen Ballon gestartet und die Temperaturdifferenz in Funktion der Höhe bestimmt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Um die Auswirkung einer Zunahme der ultravioletten Sonnenstrahlung auf das atmosphärische Ozon zu untersuchen, wurden beim Auftreten desMögel-Dellinger-Effekts (Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances, S. I. D.) Ozonmessungen angestellt. Unter der Annahme, daß an den Tagen mit S. I. D. das Verhältnis der Intensität der extraterrestrischen Sonnenstrahlung bei 3110 Å zu der bei 3300 Å konstant bleibt, findet man, daß die gleichzeitigen Ozonänderungen entweder sehr klein sind oder ganz fehlen, was in Übereinstimmung mit dem theoretisch zu erwartenden Verhalten ist.
    Abstract: Résumé Pour examiner l'effet de croissance de la radiation solaire ultraviolette sur l'ozone total atmosphérique, des mesures de l'ozone ont été faites pendant certains jours avec des perturbations ionosphériques brusques (Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances, S. I. D.) qui apparaissent ordinairement simultanément avec une éruption solaire. Si l'on suppose que le quotient de l'intensité extra-terrestre du rayonnement solaire pour λ-3110 Å à celle pour λ=3300 Å est constant, on constate que les variations de l'ozone coïncidentes avec les S. I. D. sont petites ou manquent complètement ce qui est en bon accord qualitatif avec la théorie.
    Notes: Summary In order to investigate the effect of increased solar ultraviolet radiation on total atmospheric ozone, ozone observations have been made during sudden ionospheric disturbances (S. I. D.). If one can assume that the ratio of the extraterrestrial intensity of sunlight at 3110 Å to that at 3300 Å (the wavelengths observed by the measuring instrument) remains unchanged during days with S. I. D., it is found that ozone changes associated with S. I. D. s are small or absent, in agreement with qualitative theoretical expectation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary On the basis of numerous observations it is shown that theF 2 layer ionisation has a pronounced half-year periodicity. Amplitude and phase of these variations underly various influences and, above all, depend in a determined way on the observation stations. An attempt is made to explain this annual double-period by the rather obvious assumption that the UV-intensity of the solar radiation depends on latitude and is smaller on the solar equator than in medium heliographic latitudes. Thereby, not only the double-period of the critical frequencies, but also the hitherto uncleared double-period of the apparent layer heights can be accounted for.
    Abstract: Résumé Se fondant sur un important matériel d'observations, on prouve que l'ionisation de la coucheF 2 présente une période semi-annuelle accusée. L'amplitude et la phase de cette variation sont soumises à différentes influences et dépendent en particulier de la position des stations d'observation. On tente d'expliquer cette période semi-annuelle en faisant l'hypothèse, en soi très vraisemblable, que l'intensité du rayonnement solaire ultra-violet dépend de la latitude héliaque et qu'elle est plus faible à l'équateur solaire qu'aux latitudes moyennes. Cela permet d'expliquer non seulement la période double des fréquences critiques, mais encore la période double jusqu'ici inexpliquée des hauteurs apparentes des couches ionisées.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung An Hand zahlreichen Beobachtungsmaterials wird der Nachweis erbracht, daß dieF 2-Schicht-Ionisation eine ausgeprägte halbjährige Periodizität besitzt. Amplitude und Phase dieser Schwankungen unterliegen verschiedenen Einflüssen, so sind sie vor allem in bestimmter Weise von den Beobachtungsstationen abhängig. Es wird versucht, eine Erklärung für diese jährliche Doppelperiode zu geben, und zwar in der Weise, daß die an sich ja sehr naheliegende Annahme gemacht wird, daß die UV-Intersität der Sonne breitenabhängig ist und am Sonnenäquator geringer ist als in mittleren heliographischen Breiten. Damit kann nicht nur die Doppelperiode der kritischen Frequenzen erklärt werden, sondern es wird auch die bisher ungeklärte Doppelperiode der scheinbaren Schichthöhen verständlich.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Meteorology, oceanography and astrophysics have to deal with wide, there and back flowing motions of “exchange” (less characterized in the word “turbulence”) which are caused in a rotating system by supply of heat (mostly insolation) and are associated with a surface rotating with it, e. g. the surface of the earth, or with another gliding surface. In treating these motions and mixings, moved by heat effects, like an “isotropic” turbulence (where the two co-ordinates are equivalent) they get deprived of their essential properties. For, the impetus of heat mostly involves a preferred axis of the exchange movements; the turbulence quanta chiefly are pushed in both directions of this predominating axis (Chap. I). Such (two-dimensional) turbulent exchanges cause a characteristic transport of impulses. These are carried in both directions of the axis of preference. This transport is computed, in chapter II, on the assumption that the individual quantum of exchange does not form by its motion an own field of pressure (“exchange of mass points”), in chapter III without this restriction (“exchange by gradient wind”). Therefore in meteorology the so-called “geostrophic” winds may be considered in this sense as turbulent exchange motions of the atmosphere. Finally, in chapter IV, the conditions are examined, from which depends the “vorticity” of the individual exchange quanta in the atmosphere (and in the sea), if friction and mixing are excluded. It is shown that in this case the big rotating exchange quanta keep almost unaltered their “vorticity” (the vertical component of the “curl” of the absolute velocity). The two-dimensional theory of exchange, which may be applied in many problems of geophysics and astrophysics, holds good with regard to the planetary circulation of the earth's atmosphere. In taking into consideration also the friction on the soil, it is possible to insert in a general aspect of all phenomena of circulation the precious results ofC. G. Rossby and his collaborators as to the general circulation of the upper layers (Chap. V).
    Abstract: Résumé En météorologie, en océanographie et en astrophysique on a affaire à de vastes «mouvements d'échange», courants çà et là, connus sous le terme moins adéquat de «turbulence», engendrés dans un système en rotation par des sources de chaleur (en général le rayonnement) et qui sont liés à une surface en rotation comme par exemple la surface terrestre ou quelque surface de glissement. Si l'on traite ces mouvements et mélanges d'origine calorique comme turbulence «isotrope» (pour laquelle les deux coordonnées sont équivalentes), on les dépouille de leurs caractères essentiels, car la source de chaleur impose en général aux mouvements d'échange turbulents un axe préférentiel selon lequel les quanta de turbulence sont principalement activés (Chap. I). De tels mouvements d'échange turbulents (à deux dimensions) créent un transport d'impulse caractéristique. Ce transport va dans les deux directions de l'axe préférentiel. Il est calculé dans ce qui suit, tout d'abord (Chap. II) en admettant que chaque quantum d'échange ne crée pas de champ propre de pression par son mouvement, puis sans cette restriction (Chap. III). Les vents appelés «géostrophiques» peuvent donc être considérés dans ce sens comme des mouvements d'échange turbulent de l'atmosphère. Enfin on étudie les conditions auxquelles est soumise la rotation propre («vorticity») des quanta d'échange individuels dans l'atmosphère (et dans la mer) lorsque l'on exclut le frottement et le mélange. On trouve que dans ce cas les grands quanta d'échange rotationnels conservent presque inchangée leur «vorticity» (Chap. IV). La théorie d'échange turbulent à deux dimensions qui trouve son application dans maints domaines de la géophysique et de l'astrophysique s'applique en premier lieu à la circulation «planétaire» de l'atmosphère terrestre. Si l'on tient compte du frottement au sol, on peut introduire les précieux résultats obtenus parC. G. Rossby et ses collaborateurs sur la circulation générale des hautes couches dans une vue d'ensemble de tous les phénomènes de circulation (Chap. V).
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Meteorologie, Ozeanographie und Astrophysik haben es mit weiträumigen “Austauschbewegungen” (weniger treffend “Turbulenz” genannt) zu tun, welche in einem rotierenden System durch Wärmewirkungen (meist Bestrahlung) entstehen und an eine mitrotierende Fläche, z. B. an die Erdoberfläche oder an eine andere Gleitfläche gebunden sind. Wenn man diese, durch Wärmewirkungen angetriebenen Bewegungen und Vermischungen als “isotrope” Turbulenz (bei der beide Koordinaten gleichberechtigt sind) behandelt, so entkleidet man sie ihrer wesentlichen Eigenschaften. Denn meistens bedingt der Wärmeantrieb eine bevorzugte Achse der Austauschbewegungen; die Turbulenzquanten werden überwiegend in beiden Richtungen dieser “Vorzugsachse” angestoßen (Kap. I). Derartige (zweidimensionale) Austauschbewegungen bewirken nun einen charakteristischen Transport der Drehimpulse. Dieser Transport fließt in Richtung der Vorzugsachse. Er wird nachstehend berechnet, und zwar zunächst (in Kap. II) unter der Voraussetzung, daß das einzelne Austauschquantum durch seine Bewegung kein eigenes Druckfeld erzeugt (“Massenpunktaustausch”), weiterhin (in Kap. III) ohne diese Einschränkung (“Gradientwindaustausch”). Die in der Meteorologie “geostrophisch” genannten Winde können also in diesem Sinne als “Austauschbewegungen” der Atmosphäre gelten. Schließlich werden die Bedingungen untersucht, denen die Eigenrotation (“vorticity”) der einzelnen (großen) Austauschquanten in der Atmosphäre (und im Meer) unterliegt, wenn Reibung und Vermischung ausgeschlossen werden. Es zeigt sich, daß in diesem Fall die großen rotierenden Austauschquanten ihre “vorticity” (die Vertikalkomponente des absoluten Geschwindigkeitsrotors) fast unverändert behalten (Kap. IV). Die zweidimensionale Austauschtheorie, die an und für sich auf vielen Gebieten der Geophysik und Astrophysik Anwendung finden kann, bewährt sich zunächst in bezug auf die “planetarische Zirkulation” der Erdatmosphäre. Wenn man die Reibung am Erdboden mitberücksichtigt, gelingt es, die wertvollen BefundeC. G. Rossbys und seiner Mitarbeiter hinsichtlich der allgemeinen Zirkulation höherer Schichten in eine Gesamtschau aller Zirkulationserscheinungen einzufügen (Kap. V).

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Observations concerning the obvious influence of varying water contents upon the specific resistance of the soil led to the construction of a new species of double-layer curves, assuming that the specific resistance of the uppermonst layer obeys an exponental law. These resistance curves are confornted with the known double and triple-layer curves and, by means of several examples, the erros of depth easurements caused by applying the latter curves are indicated. The position of their asymptotes results to be a determining factor for their classification. In different cases the divergences between geoelectric measurements and results of boring may be eliminated by making use of these new resistance curves.
    Abstract: Résumé Différentes observations d'une influence—prévisible a priori—de la teneur variable en eau sur la résistance spécifique dsu sol fournissent l'occasion d'établir de nouveaux types de courbes de résistance de couches doubles, dans l'hypothèse que la résistance des couches supérieures varie selon une loi exponentielle. On compare ces courbes de résistance aux courbes connues de couches doubles ou triples, et on donne des exemples d'errerus commises dans les indications de profondeur lorsqu'on les tire de ces courbes. Pour la classification des courbes la position des asymptotes est déterminante. On pourra peut-être sur la base de ces nouvelles courbes expliquer dans bien des cas les divergences existant entre les résultats de calculs de profondeur par des méthodes géoélectriques et ceux que donnent les forages directs.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Verschiedene Beobachtungen einer an sich schon naheliegenden Beeinflussung des speizifischen Widerstandes des Bodens durch wechselnden Wassergehalt bilden den Anlaß zur Konstruktion einer neuen Art von Zweischichtkurven unter der Annahme, daß der spezifische Widerstand der obersten Schichte nach einem exponentiellen Gesetz variiert. Diese Wiederstandskurven werden mit den bekannten Zweischicht-und Dreischichtkurven verglichen und an einigen Beispielen die Fehler angegeben, die man für die Tiefenangaben begeht, wenn man jene mit Hilfe der letzteren auswertet. Für ihre Klassifikation erweist sich die Lage ihrer Asymptoten als maßgebend. Durch diese neuen Widerstandskurven dürften vielleicht in manchen Fällen die Widersprüche zwischen den Ergebnissen der geoelektrischen Tiefenmessungen und der Bohrungen beseitigt werden können.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary After a comprehensive report on the dependance of weather elements (temperature, pressure, precipitation, thunderstorms) from the 11,2-respectively the 89-year-cycle of sun-spots, from the 5,6-year partial period and from the solar rotation period of 27 days, statistical connexions between thunderstorms, central meridian passages of sun-spots and isolated magnetic disturbances in Central Europe are examined for periods of little solar activity. The discussion leads to an effect of invasions of the undulatory radiation of the sun wich is indicated only imperfectly and with a delay of 2 to 3 days by magnetic character figures depending on corpuscular emissions. Then the pressure distribution in the environs of an isolated magnetic disturbance (352 cases) is investigated by means of punched cards. In the minimum and rise of sun-spot-cycle exists, 2 to 3 days before the magnetic disturbance, an area of rising pressure moving from northern Europe to SE and an area of falling pressure following from the British Isles to E. An assignment to seasons or to phases of the sun-spot-cycle leads to the same result, according to the quite similar results ofDuell (1948) andKoppe (1950). The limitation of precise correlations to the beginning of sun-spot-cycles is in accordance with former results of negative correlations between heliographic latitudes of active solar centres and atmospheric events.
    Abstract: Résumé On résume tout d'abord les faits connus concernant la relation entre les éléments météorologiques (température, pression, précipitations, orages) et les cycles de taches solaires de 11,2 respectivement de 89 ans, la période partielle de 5,6 ans ainsi que la période de rotation du soleil de 27 jours. On étudie ensuite par voie statistique les corrélations entre les orages, les passages des taches solaires au méridien central et les perturbations magnétiques isolées observées en Europe centrale aux époques de faible activité solaire. On conclut à un effect déclancheur des variations du rayonnement ondulatoire du soleil, lesquelles ne sont révélées qu'imparfaitement par les caractères magnétiques liés au rayonnement corpusculaire et n'apparaissant qu'avec un retard de deux à trois jours. On a en outre étudié la répartition de la pression au voisinage d'une perturbation magnétique isolée (352 cas au total) au moyen de cartes perforées. Lors d'un minimum de taches et à la montée du cycle des taches solaires il y a un noyau de hausse de pression naissant deux à trois jours avant la perturbation magnétique et qui se déplace du Nord de l'Europe vers le SE, tandis qu'un noyau de baisse le suit des Iles britanniques vers l'Est. Une analyse procédant par saisons ou par phases de taches solaires conduit au même résultat; le matériel deDüll (1948) et deKoppe (1950) fournit des résultats analogues. Le fait que des corrélations nettes ne s'observent qu'au début d'un cycle de taches solaires est en accord avec des études antérieures qui montraient une corrélation négative entre la latitude héliaque des foyers solaires et les phénomènes atmosphériques.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nach zusammenfassendem Referat über die Abhängigkeit der Wetterelemente (Temperatur, Luftdruck, Niederschlag, Gewitter) vom 11,2-bzw. 89jährigen Sonnenfleckenzyklus, von der 5,6jährigen Unterperiode und von der 27tägigen Sonnenrotation werden die statistischen Zusammenhänge zwischen Gewittern, Meridianpassagen von Sonnenflecken und isoliert auftretenden magnetischen Störungen in Mitteleuropa in den Zeiten geringer Sonnenfleckentätigkeit untersucht. Die Diskussion führt auf eine auslösende Wirkung von Schwankungen (Invasionen) der solaren Wellenstrahlung, die von der auf Korpuskelemissionen ansprechenden magnetischen Charakterzahl nur unvollkommen und mit zwei bis drei tagen Verspätung wiedergegeben werden. Anschließend wird die Luftdruckverteilung in der Umgebung einer isolierten magnetischen Störung (insgesamt 352 Fälle) mittels Lochkarten untersucht. Während Minimum und Anstieg des Sonnen-fleckenzyklus ergab sich ein Drucksteiggebiet, das, jeweils zwei bis drei Tage vor der magnetischen Störung einsetzend, von Nordeuropa aus nach SE zog, während ein Druckfallgebiet von den Britischen Inseln nach E nachfolgte. Ein Aufgliederung nach Jahreszeiten oder nach Sonnenfleckenphasen lieferte das gleiche Resultat; sehr ähnliche Ergebnisse erbrachten an unabhängigem MaterialDüll (1948) undKoppe (1950). Die Beschränkung eindeutiger Zusammenhänge auf den Beginn eines Sonnenfleckenzyklus steht in Übereinstimmung mit den älteren Befunden über eine negative Korrelation zwischen der heliographischen Breite der solaren Herde und den atmosphärischen Vorgängen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Experiments have been carried out with the principal aim of investigating the electric charges of small ice-crystals being detached from hoar-frost layers. Breaking off of ice particles was studied microscopically under various experimental conditions. Down to 10−15 coul., charges of particles were measured quantitatively by valve electrometers, and smaller ones to 2.4·10−16 coul. in a more qualitative way by the deviation of falling particles in the transversal electric field. Big charges, with a maximum value of 2.5·10−14 coul., are rare. There is a strong increase of number of particles with decreasing charge of the single particle. Under 3.3·10−16 coul., however, frequency of particles remains constant. Contrary to an indication ofW. Findeisen, the number of positively charged particles is always seven times as great as that of the negative ones. The mean value of charge, positive or negative, carried by a single particle amounts to 7·10−16 coul. Starting from the polar structure of ice, an attempt has been made to explain the origin of these electric charges. It seems, however, that thunderstorm electricity cannot be accounted for by the process of breaking off of hoar-frost particles. To dateFindeisen's “granulation-effect” (Vergraupelungs-effekt) could not be verified up to now.
    Abstract: Résumé Le but principal de ce travail expérimental est l'étude des charges électriques apparaissant lorsque de petits cristaux de glace se détachent d'une couche de gelée blanche. On étudie en outre par voie microscopique la formation d'éclats de glace ainsi que l'influence de différentes conditions expérimentales sur le phénomène en question. On mesure exactement les charges d'éclats de glace jusqu'à 10−15 coul. à l'aide d'électromètre à amplificateurs électroniques et, avec moins de précision, des charges jusqu'à 2,4·10−16 coul. par la déviation de particules tombant dans un champ électrique transversal. De fortes charges atteignant 2,5·10−14 coul. sont rares. La fréquence d'apparition croît rapidement en raison inverse des charges de particules et reste constante à partir de 3,3·10−16 coul. Contrairement à une indication deW. Findeisen, le nombre des particules chargées positivement qui se détachent est toujours sept fois plus grand que celui des particules négatives. La charge moyenne de chaque signe portée par un éclat est d'environ 7·10−16 coul. On tente d'établir un schéma de la formation d'électricité provenant de la structure polarisée de la glace. Le processus par lequel la gelée blanche se réduit en éclats ne peut suffire à expliquer l'électricité des orages. L'effet dû à la formation du grésil (Vergraupelungseffekt) invoqué parFindeisen n'a pu jusqu'ici être confirmé.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hauptziel dieser Laboratoriumsarbeit ist die Untersuchung der elektrischen Ladungen, die bei der Ablösung kleiner Eiskriställchen aus Reifschichten auftreten. Daneben wird die Entstehung der Eissplitter mikroskopisch verfolgt sowie der Einfluß verschiedener Versuchsbedingungen auf den Vorgang studiert. Die Splitterladungen werden bis herab zu 10−15 Coul quantitativ durch Röhrenelektrometer, darunter bis zu 2,4·10−16 Coul mehr qualitativ durch Ablenkung fallender Teilchen im transversalen elektrischen Feld gemessen. Große Ladungen, maximal 2,5·10−14 Coul, sind selten. Die Häufigkeit wächst mit abnehmender Ladung des Einzelteilchens steil an und bleibt von 3,3·10−16 Coul an abwärts konstant. Durchweg und im Gegensatz zu einer Angabe vonW. Findeisen ist die Zahl der abbrechenden positiven Teilchen etwa siebenmal so groß als die der negativen. Für den Mittelwert der von einem Splitter getragenen Ladung jedes Vorzeichens finden sich etwa 7·10−16 Coul. — Es wird ein Deutungsversuch der Elektrizitätsentstehung angegeben, der von der polaren Struktur des Eises ausgeht. — Für die Erklärung der Gewitterelektrizität dűrfte der Reifabsplitterungsvorgang nicht ausreichen.Findeisens „Vergraupelungseffekt” konnte bisher nicht bestätigt werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract A new limnograph is described. Its advantages consist of an especially time saving portability. It is easy to set up, irrespective of the conditions of the shore. With this and two other instruments a survey of the standing waves (seiches) of the Achensee (Tyrol) was made. By applyingA. Defant's method for the computation of the periods, excellent agreement between theory and observations has been reached. As the water of the lake is supplying a power plant, its level is subjected to great yearly fluctuations. The computation of periods was made for two different levels. In one part of the lake with shallow water the distribution of amplitudes was found to differ from the theoretical values. From the amount of this deviation a constant of friction is derived. The southern end of the lake has the characteristics of a shelf which strongly influences the shape of the standing waves, as the theory shows. A very frequent seiche of the shelf with great amplitude is explained by means ofDu Bois' formula.
    Abstract: Résumé On décrit un limnigraphe qui se distingue par la facilité de son transport et de son installation, quelle que soit la nature de la rive. On a étudié les seiches de l'Achensee (Tyrol) au moyen de cet appareil et de deux autres. L'application de la méthode deA. Defant au calcul des périodes d'oscillation fournit des résultats parfaitement d'accord avec les faits. Le lac sert de réservoir hydraulique à une usine électrique et son niveau varie donc beaucoup, de sorte que le calcul fut mené pour deux niveaux différents. Dans une partie très peu profonde du lac on a constaté un comportement anormal des amplitudes par rapport à la théorie; l'écart permet le calcul d'une constante de frottement. L'extrémité sud du lac a le caractère d'une terrasse sous-marine dont on a pu prouver l'influence sur la forme des oscillations au moyen de la théorie. La formule deDu Bois permet d'expliquer une oscillation apparaissant fréquemment et avec une grande amplitude.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ein neuartiger Limnograph wird beschrieben. Seine Vorteile bestehen in einer besonders leichten und zeitsparenden Transportierbarkeit und Aufstellung, unabhängig von der Beschaffenheit des Ufers. Mit dem genannten und zwei weiteren Instrumenten wurden die Seiches des Achensees (Tirol) ermittelt. Die Anwendung der Methode vonA. Defant zur Berechnung der Schwingungsperioden liefert ausgezeichnete Übereinstimmung mit den Beobachtungen. Da der See als Kraftspeicher für ein Elektrizitätswerk dient, ist sein Wasserstand starken Änderungen unterworfen. Die Rechnung wurde für zwei verschiedene Niveaus durchgeführt. In einem Teil des Sees mit sehr geringer Wassertiefe wurde eine von der theoretisch geforderten abweichende Verteilung der Schwingungsamplituden festgestellt. Aus dem Betrag der Abweichung wird eine Reibungskonstante abgeleitet. Das südliche See-Ende besitzt den Charakter eines Schelfs, dessen bedeutender Einfluß auf die Schwingungsformen an Hand der Theorie nachgewiesen wird. Eine häufig und mit großer Amplitude auftretende Schelfschwingung wird mittels derDu Boisschen Formel erklärt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Arbeit befaßt sich mit einer Untersuchung der atmosphärisch-elektrischen Zustände und Vorgänge in 700 bis 3000 m Höhe während Niederschlages verschiedenster Arten. Die Beziehung zwischen Potentialgradient (Feldstärke)E oder Spitzenentladungsstromi po und NiederschlagsstromdichteI pr läßt sich durch Regressionsgerade darstellen, deren Charakter bei gleichmäßigem Niederschlag unabhängig ist von der Art des Niederschlages und von der Höhe. Die Niederschlagsrate spielt nur eine nebensächliche Rolle und bestimmt nicht den Charakter der oben genannten Beziehungen. Bei gleichmäßigem Niederschlag sind Polarität vonE,I pr undi po durch den Aggregatzustand des Niederschlages bestimmt. Bei Schneefall sindE,i po positiv,I pr negativ. In Regen gelten umgekehrte Vorzeichen. Der Vorzeichenwechsel erfolgt, wenn Schneepartikel im freien Fall schmelzen, was im Mittel bei +1,1°C erfolgt. Der bekannte Spiegelbildeffekt gilt als Regel, nicht jedoch als exaktes Gesetz. Eine Reihe von Beobachtungen über Abweichungen von der strengen Spiegelung der Werte weist darauf hin, daß die Theorie nicht gelten kann, welche darauf beruht, daß primär hohe Werte vonE Spitzenentladungen auslösen, die ihrerseits Ionen erzeugen, welche durch Niederschlag eingefangen werden, so daßE undI pr spiegelbildlich verlaufen. Vielmehr werden durch niederschlags-elektrische Prozesse primärE und sekundäri po beeinflußt. Die Ladung an Wolkenunterseiten ist — außer beim Gewitter — für niederschlags-elektrische Vorgänge ohne Belang. Im Niederschlag wird das Verhalten der luftelektrischen Größen durch die niederschlags-physikalischen Vorgänge in der allernächsten Umgebung vom Beobachtungspunkt bestimmt. Die oben genannten Polaritäten der luftelektrischen Größen während Niederschlages gelten nur für gleichmäßigen Niederschlag. Nimmt die atmosphärische Stabilität unter einen gewissen Schwellenwert ab, so treten Polaritätswechsel der atmosphärisch-elektrischen Größen auf, die nichts mit dem Aggregatzustand und auch nichts mit der elektrischen Ladung an der Wolkenunterseite (außer im Gewitter) zu tun haben. Die Häufigkeit der Polaritätswechsel läßt sich als Funktion der Austausch-Intensität über der Station darstellen. Diese Beziehung kann für praktische Zwecke der Bestimmung des Turbulenzgrades verwendet werden.
    Notes: Summary This paper is concerned with a study of the atmospheric electrical conditions and processes at 700 up to 3000 m a. s. l. during precipitations of the most varied kind. The relation between potential gradientE or, respectively, point discharge currenti po , and precipitation current densityI pr may be represented by regression lines whose character during steady precipitations is independent of the kind of precipitation or altitude a. s. l. The precipitation rate plays only a subordinate part and does not control the character of the above mentioned relations. During steady precipitations the polarities ofE,I pr andi po are determined by the physical state of the precipitations. During snowfall,E andi po are positive,I pr is negative; during rainfall, the opposite signs apply. The sign reversal takes place when snow particles melt in free fall, which, as an average, takes place at +1.1° C. The well-known mirror image effect applies as a rule rather than an exact law. A number of observations regarding deviations from the strict mirroring of the values indicate that the theory cannot be valid which claims that high primary values ofE would trigger point discharges which, in turn, generate ions that are captured by precipitation, with the result thatE andI pr proceed in a mirror-inverted manner. The truth is that by processes of precipitation electricity,E is primarily influenced, andi po secondarily. The charge on cloud bases, except in thunderstorms, is irrelevant to precipitation electrical processes. In precipitation, the behavior of the atmospheric electrical quantities is governed by the precipitation physical processes in the most immediate vicinity of the observation site. The above mentioned polarities of the atmospheric electric quantities during precipitation are applicable only to steady precipitations. If the atmospheric stability is decreased below a certain threshold value, polarity changes of the atmospheric electrical quantities will occur which have nothing to do with the physical state nor with the electric charge on the cloud base (except in thunderstorms). The frequency of the polarity changes may be presented as a function of the exchange intensity above the station. This relation may be used for practical purposes of determining the degree of turbulence.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Ladungsübertragung infolge von Zusammenstoß und nachfolgender Trennung von Wassertropfen, die in einem elektrischen Felde fallen, ist untersucht worden. Die übertragene Ladungq wurde, gemessen bei Werten der FeldstärkeE, des Tropfenradiusr, des RadienverhältnissesR/r, der Zusammenstoß-GeschwindigkeitV und dem Winkel Θ in den Bereichen von 0,5 bis 80 kV/m fürE, 200 bis 600 μm fürr, 1,0 bis 3,0 fürR/r, 0,5 bis 3 m/sec fürV und 0 bis 90° für Θ. Θ bedeutet den Winkel zwischen der Feldrichtung und der Verbindungslinie der Tropfenmittelpunkte im Augenblick der Trennung. Zwei gleich große Ströme von Tropfen wurden aus hypodermischen Kanülen ausgestoßen (durch Beeinflussung des Wasserstromes durch diese). Diese Ströme wurden dann zum Zusammenstoßen gebracht in einem Raum, in der durch zwei Elektroden ein elektriches Feld aufrechterhalten wurde. Die einzelnen Tropfen stießen vorübergehend zusammen, bewegten sich dann umeinander und trennten sich wieder, wonach jeder der beiden Ströme in einem isolierten Gefäß aufgefangen wurde, welches zur Ladungsmessung mit einem Elektrometer verbunden war. Die gemessenen Ladungen waren im allgemeinen in guter Übereinstimmung mit den aus der Gleichungq = 1,1 · 10-10 γ1 E r 2 Cos Θ berechneten, worin γ1 eine Funktion vonR/r darstellt. Aufgrund dieser Gleichung, der Marshall-Palmerschen Tropfengrößen-Verteilungsfunktion und annehmbarer Werte für die Trennungswahrscheinlichkeit zusammenstoßender Tropfen durchgeführte Berechnungen zeigten, daß Zusammenstöße zwischen Regentropfen in elektrifizierten Wolken zu einer Zerstörung des bestehenden Feldes kräftig beitragen.
    Notes: Summary Studies have been made of the charge transfer resulting from the collision and separation of water drops falling in an electric field. The charge transferq was measured for values of field strengthE, impact velocityV, drop radiiR, r, radius ratioR/r, and angle Θ ranging from 0.5 to 80 kV/m, 0.5 to 3 m·sec−1, 200 to 600 μ, 1.0 to 3.0 and 0 to 90 degrees respectively, where Θ is the angle between the field and the line of centres of the drops at the moment of separation. Two uniformly sized drop-streams were ejected from hypodermic needles by modulating the flow of water through them and then collided between a pair of electrodes across which a potential difference existed. The drops coalesced temporarily, swung around each other and separated, each resulting stream being collected in a vessel connected to an electrometer in order to measure the charge. The measured values ofq were generally in good agreement with theoretical values derived from the equationq = 1.1 · 10-10 γ1 E r 2 Cos Θ, where γ1 is a function ofR/r. Calculations based on this equation, the Marshall-Palmer drop-size distribution and established values of separation probabilities of colliding drops showed that collisions between raindrops within electrified clouds will act powerfully to dissipate the existing fields.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bekanntlich wird die Messung luftelektrischer Elemente durch Wind beeinflußt, und Tage mit starkem Wind werden gewöhnlich als luftelektrisch gestört bezeichnet, wobei eine Grenze bei 6 m/sec gesetzt wird. Der Einfluß horizontaler Winde auf das luftelektrische Feld ist zwar durch die Änderungen der Raumladungsdichte erklärbar; es wird hier aber gezeigt, daß der beobachtete Einfluß auf den luftelektrischen Vertikalstrom nicht vollständig durch Änderungen der örtlichen Leitfähigkeit und des Feldes erklärt werden kann. Das Vorhandensein eines vertikalen Advektionsstromes von der Größe ɛ0χ e υ x (∂E z /∂ x ) wird dargelegt, und es wird durch Berechnung gezeigt, daß er dann bedeutsam ist, wenn große Raumladungsdichten durch den Wind horizontal bewegt werden (zum Beispiel bei Staubstürmen und beim Auftreten von Spitzenentladungen). Da dieser vertikale Advektionsstrom zu υ x (∂E z /∂ x ) proportional ist, wird empfohlen, anstelle des üblichenv x diesen Parameter als Kriterium zur Bestimmung der Windstörung bei luftelektrischen Schönwettermessungen zu verwenden.
    Notes: Summary The measured values of electrical parameters of the atmosphere are known to be affected by wind, and days with strong winds (v x 〉6 m s−1) are normally classified as electrically disturbed. While the effect of horizontal wind on the electric field is readily explained in terms of changes in the spacecharge density, it is shown from electrodynamical considerations that the observed effect on the air-earth current cannot always be attributed solely to changes in the local conductivity and electric field. The existence of a vertical current of advection of magnitude ɛ0χ e υ x (∂E z /∂x) is revealed, and shown by calculations to be important (for instance during dust-storms and pointdischarge) when large space-charge concentrations are advected by wind. Since the current of advection is proportional tov x (∂E z /∂x), it is suggested that this parameter rather thanv x be used as a criterion for deciding wind-disturbed measurements of routine fair-weather atmospheric electric parameters.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zur Bestimmung der spezifischen Ozonzerstörungsrate der Meeresoberfläche wurden Profilmessungen zwischen 1 m und 20 m Höhe über der offenen See durchgeführt. Der Gradient der Ozonkonzentration erwies sich in den Grenzen der Meßgenauigkeit als unabhängig von der Horizontal-Windgeschwindigkeit. Im Geschwindigkeitsintervall 1 m/sec bis 10 m/sec ergab sich für stabile Schichtung ein mittlerer Gradient von (0,23±0,12) γ/m, für instabile Schichtung (0,09±0,018) γ/m bei einer angenommenen Ozonkonzentration von 100 γ in 25 m Höhe. Im betrachteten Windgeschwindigkeitsintervall sind somit der vertikale Ozonfluß und die spezifische Ozonzerstörungsrate der Meeresoberfläche proportional zur Windgeschwindigkeit. Für die Ozonzerstörungsrateq gilt als Zusammenhang mit der mittleren Windgeschwindigkeit $$\bar u_{10} $$ in 10 m Höhe $$q = (1,7 \pm 0,6)10^{ - 5} \cdot \bar u_{10} [cm/\sec ]$$ Oberhalb 30 m Höhe ergaben Ballonsondierungen ein konstantes Mischungsverhältnis von Ozon und Luft.
    Notes: Summary The specific ozone destruction rate at the ocean surface was estimated from profile measurements between 1 m and 20 m height above the open sea. The ozone concentration gradient turned out to be independent of the horizontal wind velocity within the instrumental error range. Within the velocity interval of 1 m/sec to 10 m/sec a mean gradient of (0.23±0.12) γ/m for stable stratification and of (0.09±0.018) γ/m for unstable stratification were obtained. Both values base upon an assumed ozone concentration of 100 γ at 25 m altitude. Thus, the vertical flux of ozone and the specific ozone destruction rate of the ocean surface are proportional with the wind velocity. Between the specific ozone destruction rateq and the average wind velocity $$\bar u_{10} $$ at 10 m height the relation $$q = (1.7 \pm 0.6)10^{ - 5} \cdot \bar u_{10} [cm/\sec ]$$ holds. Above 30 m height the results of balloon soundings indicate the mixing ratio ozone/air to be constant with altitude.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Daily global cloud observations effectuated by means of the meteorological sattelites ESSA 3 and 5 in the year 1967 which made possible the global observation of terrestrial weather phenomena are the base of this paper. The author primarily treats vortex structures which led to the formation of cloud spirals. In 1967, over the entire globe 405 vortices with spiral structure appeared, 180 of them over the northern hemisphere and 225 over the southern hemisphere. The source regions were the North-Atlantic and North-Pacific on the northern hemisphere, on the southern hemisphere the source regions formed a broad belt encircling the entire globe. The paths of the vortices are directed mainly to north-east over the northern hemisphere, but to east-south-east over the southern hemisphere. The source regions of the vortex structures in one series are often cloud bands with a length of 5000 to 10000 km. They begin near the equator and cross the oceans. These bands are quasi-stationary, often have a life-time of 3 to 5 days, and show a strong bundling over certain areas of the earth. Above all, four bundles emerge building up the shape of a “fish-bone”. Over the Atlantic one bundle extends from the tropical Central-America in north-eastward direction to the middle North-Atlantic, the counter-bundle from the tropical regions of the Amazon to the south-east, crossing Brazil, to the South-Atlantic. Over the Pacific Ocean one finds similar long cloud-bundles extending from the equator in north-eastern and south-eastern direction. These four bundles direct one's attention to certain regions of the earth, which might be of great importance for the air exchange between the hemispheres. These are especially two regions: one of them is situated at the transition region from the North-American to the South-American, the second one in the equatorial region between Southeast-Asia and Australia.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Dieser Arbeit liegen tägliche globale Wolkenbeobachtungen der meteorologischen Satelliten ESSA 3 und 5 des Jahres 1967 zugrunde [1], die eine Totalbetrachtung irdischer Wettervorgänge ermöglichen. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurden vor allem Wirbelstrukturen behandelt, die zur Bildung von Wolkenspiralen geführt haben. Im Jahre 1967 traten auf der ganzen Erde 405 Wirbel mit Spiralstruktur auf, davon 180 auf der Nordhemisphäre und 225 auf der Südhemisphäre. Als Quellenherde traten auf der Nordhemisphäre Nordatlantik und Nordpazifik hervor, auf der Südhemisphäre ergab sich eine Anordnung der Quellgebiete in Form eines breiten Gürtels, der um den Globus herumläuft. Die Wirbelbahnen verlaufen auf der Nordhemisphäre überwiegend in nordöstlicher, auf der Südhemisphäre in ostsüdöstlicher Richtung. Die Ursprungsgebiete der Wirbelstrukturen in einer Serie sind häufig Wolkenbänder mit einer Länge von 5000 bis 10000 Kilometern. Sie entspringen in der Nähe des Äquators und verlaufen quer über die Meere. Diese Bänder, die quasistationär sind und häufig eine Lebensdauer von drei bis fünf Tagen haben, zeigen über bestimmten Gebieten des Globus eine starke Bündelung. Vor allem treten vier Bündel hervor, die ein „Fischgrätenmuster” bilden. Über dem Atlantik verläuft ein Bündel vom tropischen Mittelamerika nach Nordosten bis zum mittleren Nordatlantik, das „Gegenbündel” von den tropischen Gebieten des Amazonenstromes nach Südosten über Brasilien zum Südatlantik. Über dem Pazifischen Ozean lassen sich ganz ähnliche, vom Äquator nordost- bzw. südostwärts verlaufende Bündel von Langen Wolkenbändern finden. Die vier Bündel weisen auf ganz bestimmte Regionen der Erde hin, die beim Luftaustausch zwischen den Hemisphären von großer Bedeutung sein dürften. Es sind dies besonders zwei Regionen: die erste liegt an der Übergangsstelle vom nordamerikanischen zum südamerikanischen Kontinent, die zweite in der äquatorialen Region zwischen Südostasien und Australien.
