Abstract
The system of partial differential equations given by Sawyer and Bushby (1953) for the rates of change of the 1,000โ500โmb thickness and the 500โmb contour height have been solved on an electronic computing machine for three synoptic situations and the fields of vertical motion were also computed. The results, described in this paper, show reasonable agreement with actuality. The implied 1,000โmb height tendencies also agree quite well with those actually observed.

## Abstract In an attempt to obtain a better approximation to the horizontal flow of a nonโdivergent fluid than the geostrophic approximation, a MongeโAmpรจre type of partial differential equation, similar to that of Charney (1955), is derived to enable a stream function to be found from the contour
## Abstract Two series of 12โhr and 24โhr forecast 500 mb, 1,000 mb and 1,000โ500 mb thickness charts have been computed electronically using the SawyerโBushby (1953) twoโparameter baroclinic model of the atmosphere. The results are compared with the actual charts, and a good degree of corresponden
