The solution of the steady-state transport equation describing the propagation of relativistic electrons perpendicular to the galactic plane in a galactic wind is discussed. The wind velocity is assumed to be zero in the plane and to increase with galactic height. The electrons undergo simultaneous diffusion convection, adiabatic deceleration, radiative losses and injection. We contrast the behaviour of the resulting cooling in a convecting dynamical halo with that in (a) a purely convective halo and (b) also that in a static halo, by considering the total electron number density and the variation of the electron spectral index with galactic height. The solutions are applied to problems involving nonthermal radio spectra of external spiral galaxies in view of the fact that there are indications that the occurrence of galactic winds is closely related to violent activity in the central regions of these systems.
