On the Role of the Lateral Mixing in the Cyclostrophic Flow Pattern in the Atmosphere

[摘要] The rotating flow system such as tropical cyclone or typhoon with nearly circular isobaric pattern is treated from the view point of the lateral mixing process and some basic physical relations are derived to interpret the characteristic behaviours of Namekawa's Main and Secondary Typhoons. The same idea is applied to the rotation of the fluid shell to explain the observed tonal motion at the sun's surface and of the earth's atmosphere at the tropopause level in the south of the polar cap.
