✦ Synopsis

BOOK REVIEWS change from that period to the next five-day period is given. According to the authors these maps indicate that "at certain specific times, the magnitude of change between adjacent five-day-mean maps increases considerably in certain geographic areas, indicating, possibly, preferred times of significant changes on the behavior pattern of the 700 mbar circulation". At this point, however, a minor criticism seems to be appropriate. One may wonder if the above statement is correct, in view of the fact that no indication is given concerning the difference of the height change in different years. If these differences are large, which is probably the case, then one may question the usefulness of the mean map, based on data of only 15 years (1951)(1952)(1953)(1954)(1955)(1956)(1957)(1958)(1959)(1960)(1961)(1962)(1963)(1964)(1965).

In general, this atlas can be recommended to every meteorologist who wants to have a set of climatological upper air circulation maps, in a compact, handy and nevertheless clear publication. The atlas contains only maps; for some users an appendix giving the information in grid-point data would have been useful. For those people, however, the author's remark will suffice that "information concerning the availability of the data can be obtained from the Department of Meteorology, University of Wisconsin".
