From the observational data obtained during 1923-1934 at the Aerological Observatory, Tateno, Japan a systematic study of the correlations between the meteorological elements on the ground and the upper winds were made, by a modification of a method due to K. Han'i.
Expressing the wind as a vector and taking components in four cardinal directions good results were obtained. In parts IV, V, VI, and VII of the present paper those results which might be useful for long period forecasting are given: as an example the correlation coefficient between the average velocity of the upper wind and the atmospheric pressure was found to be +0.91, and that between the northerly upper wind in summer and the rainfall in November to be about +0.95.
In part III the relations hetween the upper wind and the temperature, the monthly variation of the rainfall during one year, and also the solar constant are discussed. Finally the behaviour of the upper winds at Korea and Tateno are compared with.
