The object of this thesis is to throw light on the vertical circulation in frontal zones. The partial differential equation for the stream function of the non-geostrophic motion in a frontal cross-section, first derived by Eliassen, A (1962), provides the tool for this study. A semi-objective procedure is developed, in Chapter II, for the application of the partial differential equation to a study case. The procedure is used to determine the vertical circulation of a cold front.
