We are aware of a technical issue preventing figures and tables from showing in some newly published articles in the full-text HTML view.
While we are resolving the problem, please use the online PDF version of these articles to view figures and tables.

Changes in the hemispheric zonal wind-profile were used at the USAF South Ruislip Weather Central in England as one forecast tool to help in constructing prognostic charts for 48 hours and occasionally for 96 hours. The successes and failures of this technique during the period February to October 1952 are discussed. Suggestions for the improvement of its use on a daily basis are put forth.
