Extract

This paper contains the results of an investigation, on empirical and dynamical lines, into the following matters:—

(1) The origin of surfaces of discontinuity in the atmosphere;

(2) The precise processes occurring at such surfaces in well-defined cases;

(3) The physical processes which lead to the obliteration or movement of the discontinuities;

(4) The part played by the discontinuities in the development of the cyclones of temperate latitudes.
