Summary

The importance of the hydrodynamic instability for the formation of anticyclonic eddies just south of westerly jet stream in the middle latitudes is pointed out. Finally, the author would like to call attention for his earlier works on dynamic instability in 1941.

Zusammenfassung

Die Bedeutung der hydrodynamischen Instabilität für die Bildung antizyklonaler Wirbel direkt südlich des westlichen Freistrahlstromes in mittleren Breiten wird dargelegt. Ferner macht der Verfasser auf seine früheren Untersuchungen von 1941 über dynamische Instabilität aufmerksam.

Résumé

L'auteur montre l'importance de l'instabilité hydrodynamique pour la formation de tourbillons anticycloniques immédiatement au Sud du courant d'Ouest (jet stream) aux latitudes moyennes. Il rappelle ensuite ses précédentes recherches de 1941 sur l'instabilité dynamique.
