The formation and Development of Polar Anticyclones over Asia

Shih-ting Wang

Abstract

　　This paper is the first part of the subject entitled “On the Formation and Development Polar Anticyclones over Asia and the Extended Forecasting of Cold Air Surges in Taiwan”. Both theoretical and observational studies are carried out with the following major subtopics.

(1) The role of Asian polar anticyclones on the general circulation of the atmosphere; (2) Origins and structures of Asian polar anticyclones; (3) Physical mechanisms for the formation and development of Asian polar anticyclones through the diagnostic study by the Petterssen development formula; (4) Forecasting problems.

　　In support to the study mentioned above, the development and behavior of a strong polar high on 20-27, Feb. 1974, as a”model” case, have been investigated extensively; and some other cases have also been examined. Certain results either in diagnosis or in prognosis have been obtained.
