Although they are not so strong as those from southern districts, they are often found even in the interior of Asia at night and have a fairly narrow zonal distribution. Abundant meteorological informations of the upper atmosphere, furnished by airplane observations and radio-soundings in the neighbourhood of Japan, show that they are generated in the convergence region of fronts in the upper atmosphere such as polar fronts. By extending this idea to the middle of the Pacific as well as in the inland of Asia, where no reliable informations are obtained, we could explain with ease the zonal distribution of atmospherics in lat. 30° to 40° N and long. 80° to 180° E.}, pages = {74--79}, title = {Atmospherics due to fronts in the upper atmosphere}, volume = {5}, year = {1953} }
