SESSION IIB
DISCUSSION
INDIVIDUAL PAPER DISCUSSION
Discussions that took place following the presentation of individual
papers
are
given in this
section. These discussions preceded the
scheduled general discussions for the session.
KRUGER: Mr. List, your values for annual fallout concentration
over the United States seem quite reasonable, In trying to compare the
East Coast value to the Midwest value, have you tried to separate the
East Coast concentration into two components: that part which originates from polar sources, which is comparable to the Midwest data,
and that part from tropical sources, which is not comparable ?
LIST: No.
REITER: Dr. Newell, are there any meteorological data that would
substantiate your claims concerning the difference between hemispheres?
NEWELL: There are the data by Lamb and Obasi
that
which suggest
standing eddies in the troposphere play a smaller role in the
southern than in the northern hemisphere. Sudden warmings in the
stratosphere are more gradual in the southern hemisphere according
to Godson’s work. Ozone data summarized by Ramanathan at the Arosa
Ozone Symposium suggest smaller total amounts in the southern hemisphere; however the number of collecting stations in this hemisphere
is very small.
SAUCIER: Mr. Gudiksen, concerning your closing remarks, do
you imply conservation of mass in the jet-stream core for a week or
