Abstract
The general characters of the vertical structure of the atmospheric disturbances are discussed, on the basis of the analyses of the aerological data in Japan during four winter months. The behavior of a deep stable layer is remarked dynamically.
Particular emphasis is placed upon the rôle of the divergence and the vertical transport of the static stability.Consulting the analytical experiences, an atmospheric model which is fitted for the finer structure of disturbances is designed for thenumerical prediction. Rather finer structures observed in extratropical disturbances have some bearings on the strong concentration in the zonal current or on the strong baroclinicity of the atmosphere.
