The purpose of this study will be to evaluate an 11-year (1980--1990) climatology of subsidence inversion structure in the Eastern North Atlantic. Data from Lajes Air Base on the island of Terciera in the Azores, augmented with soundings from the ASTEX field experiment based at Santa Maria and Porto Santo in the Azores were used to evaluate the mean thermodynamic structure of the subsidence inversion during the month of June, and the evolution of the thermodynamic structure from early June through late June, a period coincidental with the ASTEX field operations.
