  • Mean Five-Day Pressure Pattern of the Great Atlantic Coast Storm, March 1962 Arthur I
    JULY1963 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW 337 MEAN FIVE-DAY PRESSURE PATTERN OF THE GREAT ATLANTIC COAST STORM, MARCH 1962 ARTHUR I. COOPERMAN AND HANS E. ROSENDAL US. Weather Bureau, Washington, D.C. [Manuscript received March 6, 1963; revised March 27, 19631 ABSTRACT A mean sea level pressure map is drawn for the North Atlantic Ocean for the period of the Atlantic Coast storm of March 5-9, 1962 and anomaly and normalized departure charts are presented. A comparison is made with the January 8-12, 1956 storm during which some of the greatest pressure anomalies associated with severe extratropical coastal storms of the 20th century occurred. It is noted that in the typical northeaster a ridge usually extends east-southeastward or southeastward over the Il'orth Atlantic Ocean from a High located over eastern Canada and Labrador. The ridge was very weak in the March 1962 situation and the resulting pressure pattern produced winds with easterly components of an unusually long fetch from the British Isles to the coastal waters of the United States. Return periods or mean recurrence values were computed, from an extreme value probability analysis based on 17 years of 5-day mean sea level pressure grid point data, for the intensity of cyclones and anticyclones associated with the March 1962 and January 1956 storms. The extreme easterly flow was computed between 35' and 45' N. from 55O to 75" W. and return periods of 18 years and 11 years were found for the January 1956 and March 1962 storms, respectively. 1. INTRODUCTION stages of the storm, was constructed and is shown in The Great Atlantic Coast Storm of March 1962, which figure 1.

    RESTRICTEDL/2377 GENERAL AGREEMENT ON 6 March 1965 TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution CONTRACTING PARTIES Twenty-Second Session EUROPEAN FREE TRADE ASSOCIATION AND THE ASSOCIATION OF EFTA AND FINLAND Information Furnished by Member States European Free Trade Association 1. The EFTA countries have undertaken to provide, as the Association develops, additional information in accordance with Article XXIV:7(a) of the General Agreement. 2. In March 1964, at the twenty-first session of the CONTRACTING PARTIES the member States of EFTA submitted their third report on the progress made in implementing the Stockholm Convention. A brief outline of the development since the last session is given below. More detailed information is given in the Fourth Annual Report of the European Free Trade Association for the period 1 July 1963 to 30 June 1964, and the booklet entitled "EFTA Trade".¹ 3. As in previous years, the EFTA countries have worked together to contribute to a harmonious expansion of world trade and to the creation of a large and outward- looking European market. As regards the first, EFTA countries have actively participated in the Kennedy Round negotiations where their identity of purpose and harmony of outlook on the main issues have enabled them to reinforce the efforts to attain the full objectives of these trade negotiations. In the same spirit, the EFTA countries participated in the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. As regards the second, the EFTA countries have found that the best way to further their common objectives for the present is to continue to strengthen the co-operation among themselves.
