A knowledge of the basic atmospheric parameters and their variability is required both for climatological purposes and theoretical studies. Meteorologists generally use constant pressure maps at a number of levels to study the broad scale structure of the atmosphere. Vertical cross sections are then used to provide a finer structure and also to permit a vertical integration of the various constant pressure levels. Research meteorologists at McGill have analysed hemispheric weather maps and meridional cross sections along 80oW on a daily basis for a three year period to determine major parameters in the general circulation. This study attempts to provide a useful contribution with respect to mean monthly and seasonal cross section parameters. [...]
