The Wind and Temperature Spectra of the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere Over North America

摘要

The wind and temperature spectra of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere over selected North American stations are constructed, by means of Tukey's method, from rawinsonde and radiosonde data taken by these stations. The variation of the spectral intensity with frequency (or period) and with height is fully discussed. The conclusions drawn from this study are given at the end of the paper.
