The geostrophic kinetic energy 30N to 8ON at 1000 mb, 500 mb, 100 mb and 25 mb is computed on a daily basis for January, 1959, employing Fourier analysis. The general characteristics of the energy spectra are presented as means for the month. The daily variations reveal that tropospheric "shore" wave kinetic energy is a good indicator of surface cyclonic activity, and that the effect of tropospheric synoptic scale disturbances is strongly damped in the lower stratosphere. Four levels proved inadequate to define the vertical structure of the ultra-long waves. [...]
