Abstract
A mean cross section is constructed from a number of individually analyzed daily cross sections through flat upper ridges, using the position of the maximum of the geostrophic zonal wind at upper levels as reference for the meridional coordinate. Computed wind velocity, wind shear, and vorticity distribution are discussed. A comparison of the results with the meridional cross section of PALMÉN and NEWTON is emphasized.
