## Abstract The field of mean vertical velocity in the 1,000β500 mb layer of the atmosphere due to largeβscale atmospheric systems is computed for six synoptic situations. The method is based on the Sutcliffe βdevelopmentβ theory and an atmospheric model is used in which the isobaric divergence of

Abstract
The twoβparameter models used in numerical prediction of the contour height field usually assume a constant value of the hydrostatic stability, about β0Β·04Β°C mb^β1^. The effect of varying this value over the field is investigated and it is shown that as the stability approaches zero the computed tendencies and the vertical velocities are increased.

## Abstract The system of partial differential equations given by Sawyer and Bushby (1953) for the rates of change of the 1,000β500βmb thickness and the 500βmb contour height have been solved on an electronic computing machine for three synoptic situations and the fields of vertical motion were als
## Abstract The vertical velocity in pressure coβordinates is computed from synoptic data on two occasions for each 100 mb interval between 1,000 mb and 200 mb at the points, approximately 160 mi apart, of a mesh covering much of the Atlantic Ocean and Europe. The assumptions made are that the mean
