    Vertical sti. ucture of upper westerly trough near Japan in January 1950 is investigated. Movement of tropopause, inversion layer and cold front, and variation of temperature are in spected. Attentions are paid especially to variation of stratification, distribution of solenoid field, convergence and divergence. The remarkable temperature variation in upper trough may be explained by vertical motion.

    From a dynamical point of view, three dimensional analyses of the typhoons Jane and Kezia, that is, the analysis of the pressure field, the temperature field, the tropopause and the stream lines, etc. are performed, and a typhoon model deduced from these analyses is proposed. It is concluded that the typhoon is not a simple convective system, but a system superposed by a few dynamical secondary convective systems, and each meteorological element corresponds to the distribution of thes e systems.

    Reflecting on the twenty years' history of the theory of general advection it is pointed out that the subject must be dealt with as a well-defined dynamical problem, in order that that a definite unobjectionable theory might be developed. In Section 2, after making clear the process of advection and defining accurately the quantities concerned, the fundamental formulas of advection are derived, which are more comprehensive than those ever published and the meanings of several previous theories are explained. Section 3 deals with the contribution of thermal effect to the advection and Section 4 the effect of the discontinuous surface. In Section 5 new forms of advection formulas are presented, which are useful for practical purposes.

    In Part I the method of height computation on. the T log p-Diagram is studied, Among many possible forms of the height computation diagrams a simple and useful one is mentioned which is applicable as well to Herlofson's Skew T logp-Diagram. In Part II, which deals with the main subject of this report, the features to be possessed by the adiabatic diagrams are analysed and by means of the equal-area transformations of T log p-Diagram the forms of the adiabatic diagrams are studied, which satisfy these features. Tephigram, Aerogram and Tropogram are included as special cases of the results of the systematic study From among the possible diagrarfis suggested by this study a diagram, named “ log Θ, H-Diagram”, is presented, which is regarded as the simplest and most effective one.1.

    This paper was prepared to give the general aspect of the annual changes of daily frequency of squalls in the NW-PACIFIC. The materials used here are marine data reports from the Japanese fleets and civil ships collected and compiled by the Japanese Navy, based on the same materials a contribution “ On the Visibility in the NW-PACIFIC ” has already been written by ARAKAAITA (1950)
    To obtain the monthly means of daily frequency of squalls, statistics were made in the following way: the NW-PACIFIC has been divided into squares,2.5 degree longitude in width, and 2.5 degree latitude in length. Referring to the files compiled, the time intervals (in hours) required by ships to traverse each 2.5 degree square were summed up. Then, the number of squalls encountered in each of the time intervals 1h-4h, 5h-8h, 9h-12h, 13h-16h,17h-20h and 21h-24h was calculated. The result thus obtained is tabulated as follows:

    Conditions of surface covers play an important role as a principal factor as well as topographical features on local climates. The author made two local climatological observations on temperature distribution at the places where local differences in surface covers are remarkable and they occupy only about several square kilometers respectively.
    Observations were done in the daytime of calm days in summer 1947 using several Assmann's psychrometers by means of mobile observations on foot. And we reduced each observed temperature at different time to an average condition during the observation period using a repeated observation method by the same author.
    The magnitudes of temperature differences by various surface covers were recongnized with statistical significances: it was warmer at cultivated fields, bare- and bush-lands and cooler in forests, grass- and marshy-lands. Mean differences in temperature between them were usually 0.6-1.0°C.

    We have applied the method of factor analysis to the problem of reducing the number of the observing parts required for the calculation of the average skin temperature of the human body.
    We have analyzed the observed data on the twenty-two parts adding to them the air temperatme and the age which are considered to influence the skin temperature. It has been thus, found that the observed values were rather well collected at every part, and that air tempetatuie is actually one of the factors which controlled skin temperature.

    Ice Crystals in the Air are grouped into three fundamental forms, as follows.
    a) hexagonal twin-prism,
    b) hexagonal prism,
    c) hexagonal plate.
    Each crystal grows into a skeleton-shaped form, and the hexagonal plate especially shows a beautiful variety observed under the optical microscope. Some examples of these crystals are shown in Figs.1 and 2

    The principle and actual design of a new type of rethote reading and recording thermometer with sealed carbon filament in the capillary of mercury-in-glass thermometer is described. Owing to its simple and solid construction it is suitable for meteorological use. Its behaviour is quite the same as that of the ordinary mercury-in-glass thermometer and it is going to be used at some model stations in Japan.

    Under four assumptions we integrated the equations of motion uniform in a direction, and obtained integrals in Cartesian coordinates, in the,x-direction of which the motion is considered. to be uniform. As in this case it is seen from the equation of con- tinuity that momentum can be expressed by applying streamsurface functions, therefore we can get two integrals: one concerning momentum and the other concerning vorticity. The integral concerning energy can not be obtained, unless we assume the pressure distribution to be stationary.
    If we further assume that the motion is stationary, then we get the same integrals as those which we derived before.

    Adopting the following three assumptions;
    (A) motion is horizontal,
    (B) fluid is frictionless,
    (C) fluid is autobarotropic,
    we tried here to integrate the equations of motion. For the sake of simplicity, we deal first with the case;
    (D) the state is stationary.
    As, in this case, it is known from the equation of continuity that we can apply the stream-line function φ for the horizontal momentum, so we can once integrate the equations of motion, in which φ and the specific volume are the dependent variations, and derive two integrals expressing conservations laws, that is, the law of conservation of absolute vorticity and that of energy.
    Here we treated only of the case in Cartesian coordinates.
