Abstract
The number and location of stagnation days within the eastern United States, as estimated mainly from a surface geostrophic-wind criterion, is presented by month and for the year 1982 as a whole. Unlike the situation in 1981 when there were an above-average number of stagnation days in comparison with the period 1936–75, with unique occurrences of stagnation in a belt extending from Minnesota to Maine, the year 1982 seems quite typical with respect to both number and location of stagnation days.
