Meteorology in a Space Colony

Abstract

It is pointed out that the weather in a space colony proposed by O'Neill is considerably different from that on the earth. Atmospheric circulation is produced by a temperature difference between the land area and the window area, and it is restricted within the thermal boundary layer. on the ‘window shore’, strong ‘window-wind’ blows in a day time. © 1983, THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN.
