Abstract
The averaged vertical motion and the heat sources and sinks have been computed for the normal maps for January and July. The perturbations in the westerlies due to large-scale heat sources and sinks and to the earth’s topography are discussed, first using the theory of small perturbations and secondly allowing the perturbations to be of a finite amplitude.
Section 2 contains a discussion of the dynamic influence of the topography on the daily weather systems.
