above the Baltic. The coefficients were introduced as input processes into the linear constant parameter system for computing Gulf of Gdafisk sea level variations; results conform with measured sea level changes occurring within the analyzed range of long-period oscillations.

Applicability of a momentum integral method to simulate gross characteristics of the tropical cyclone boundary layer is examined. Transverse circulation and heat distribution of tropical cyclones of varying structure and intensity are investigated. Dept. of Meteor. and Oceanogr., Univ. of the Philippines, Manila, Philippines.

Res., 87(C7):5015-5017.
H202 concentration levels ranging 1 to 7 × 10 ~ M were measured; no systematic trends in H202 concentration were observed during an individual storm, in marked contrast to the behavior of other anions. The data suggest that a substantial fraction of the H202 in precipitation is generated by aqueous-phase reactions within the cloudwater rather than via rainout and washout of gaseous H202.

A 2-layer spherical quasigeostrophic model is used to examine the instability of 3-D flow characteristics of the Northern Hemisphere winter troposphere. Three cases, each having increasingly larger static stability parameters, are considered. The four fastest growing perturbations in each case are analyzed for growth rates, phase frequencies and periods, disturbance streamfunctions, 'random phase ensemble average disturbance streamfunctions squared,' momentum and heat fluxes.

Fine ash particles were collected on filters by aircraft flying inside the eruption clouds. Analysis disclosed anomalous enrichment of Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, V, F, and C1 (and probably S) in water-soluble form, suggesting volcanic origin for previously reported widely dispersed atmospheric aerosols enriched in most of these elements.

Geophys. Res. Letts, 9(6):719-722.
Results from tests conducted to measure sea foam reflectance at wavelengths from 0.55-2.8 ~tm add to knowledge of the effects of sea foam on radiation upwelled from the ocean surface at near-infrared wavelengths. Application of the new data suggests the potential for a 40% improvement in signal to noise characteristics of aerosol measurements over
