Abstract

Observational evidence for an inertial oscillation in a particular situation is considered at Auckland, New Zealand. Cyclogenesis occurred in the Tasman Sea during the period, a low-level jet strengthened at Auckland, and the oscillation was detectable over a wide region of the South Pacific. The possible mechanisms of Blackadar and Uccellini are discussed in relation to the evidence.
