Abstract

It is demonstrated by applying a theory developed by Starr that the mean meridional circulations cannot transport atmospheric water vapour across surfaces of constant mean values of water vapour mixing ratio, and that the work of transferring the moisture from zonal regions of surplus to those of deficit must therefore be accomplished by eddy components of motion.

A discussion of the cross-spectral properties of eddies in the lowest 40m of the nocturnal boundary layer is presented. The study involves the analysis of meteorological data collected by the British Antarctic Survey at Halley Station, Antarctica, during the austral winter of 1986. Cross-spectral an
