Heat and Water-vapor Budget in Large and Small Scale in Winter over the middle of the Japan Islands

Abstract

Heat and water-vapor budge t in large scale and small scale network are analysed by using radiosonde observations over the middle of the Japan Islands during the period from Feb.16th to Feb.20th,1962.
The calculation scheme suitable for this analysis is introdu c e d at first. Budget of heat and water-vapor are compared mainly in the relation between the condensation and heating due to released latent heat.
The problems of vertical eddy transport and liquid-water content are also discussed as the important factors in budget analysis. Finally, the results of heat and water-vapor budget are related to the synoptic weather situations.
