Zur numerischen Wettervorhersage mittels Relaxationsmethode unter Einbeziehung barokliner Effekte. I

Following a publication in Berichten des Deutschen Wetterdienstes No. 38 p. 416 the present paper ourlines a method for the approximate solution of the quasistatistical and quasigeostrophical basic equations in an arbitrary baroclinic atmosphere taking into consideration the normal boundary conditions. Certain influence functions are calculated for a standard atmosphere by means of a relaxation method, in these calculations it is assunied that the inhoniogenius term of the differential equation is equal to unity at one grid point and disappears at all the other. The solutions permit us to determine the reaction of the atmosphere to a point source perturbation and calculate its horizontal and vertical range.
