Model computations of vertical motion in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere from wind potential data.

Fields of the potential function which had been obtained previously by Martin (1964), by numerical solution of a Poisson type equation were employed in this paper to obtain the divergence of the wind field at each grid point. Based upon a vertical interpolating polynomial formula for divergence,...
