Narrative:
I was working local control west at XA07. 3 mi south off runway 22R was my last jet departure. We (bos tower) were landing on runways 27 and 22L with lahso operations in effect. We were departing runway 22R. The bos tower SOP's state that local control west will advise local control east of a heading to issue in the event of a go around or missed approach. At approximately XA08; air carrier X advised local control east of a missed approach too high on final. Local control east relayed this information. I issued a left turn to heading 140 degrees (from runway 27 final); to be issued to the aircraft; by local east. I had an SF340; air carrier Y; at the departure end of runway 22R turning to heading 300 degrees. The vector of 140 degrees would take air carrier X behind the jet 3 mi south and away from air carrier Y. Local east advised 'air carrier X; start an immediate right turn to heading of 360 degrees.' this took the E190 through the SF34 departure course. Both aircraft were then in the clouds at 1100 ft. The E190 rapidly outclbed the SF34. At this point; 1 1/4 mi apart; the E190 began to diverge. The radar departure controller who was in contact with air carrier Y since the initial turn called on the line to me and said 'I'm turning air carrier Y west; ok?' I acknowledged 'yes.' 'affirmative.' this would increase divergence. Local east issued 'air carrier X turn further right to 020 degrees.' at which point vertical separation was applied. The supervisor on duty later informed me he heard me advise local east to turn air carrier X left to 140 degrees. To avoid this in the future; controllers should apply the SOP's as they were designed and trained to do.

Title: BOS LCL CTLR DESCRIBED OPERROR BTWN DEP AND GAR ACFT WHEN ADJACENT LCL CTLR FAILED TO COMPLY WITH COORD PROCS REGARDING GAR ACFT.
Narrative: I WAS WORKING LCL CTL W AT XA07. 3 MI S OFF RWY 22R WAS MY LAST JET DEP. WE (BOS TWR) WERE LNDG ON RWYS 27 AND 22L WITH LAHSO OPS IN EFFECT. WE WERE DEPARTING RWY 22R. THE BOS TWR SOP'S STATE THAT LCL CTL W WILL ADVISE LCL CTL E OF A HDG TO ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A GAR OR MISSED APCH. AT APPROX XA08; ACR X ADVISED LCL CTL E OF A MISSED APCH TOO HIGH ON FINAL. LCL CTL E RELAYED THIS INFO. I ISSUED A L TURN TO HDG 140 DEGS (FROM RWY 27 FINAL); TO BE ISSUED TO THE ACFT; BY LCL E. I HAD AN SF340; ACR Y; AT THE DEP END OF RWY 22R TURNING TO HDG 300 DEGS. THE VECTOR OF 140 DEGS WOULD TAKE ACR X BEHIND THE JET 3 MI S AND AWAY FROM ACR Y. LCL E ADVISED 'ACR X; START AN IMMEDIATE R TURN TO HDG OF 360 DEGS.' THIS TOOK THE E190 THROUGH THE SF34 DEP COURSE. BOTH ACFT WERE THEN IN THE CLOUDS AT 1100 FT. THE E190 RAPIDLY OUTCLBED THE SF34. AT THIS POINT; 1 1/4 MI APART; THE E190 BEGAN TO DIVERGE. THE RADAR DEP CTLR WHO WAS IN CONTACT WITH ACR Y SINCE THE INITIAL TURN CALLED ON THE LINE TO ME AND SAID 'I'M TURNING ACR Y WEST; OK?' I ACKNOWLEDGED 'YES.' 'AFFIRMATIVE.' THIS WOULD INCREASE DIVERGENCE. LCL E ISSUED 'ACR X TURN FURTHER R TO 020 DEGS.' AT WHICH POINT VERT SEPARATION WAS APPLIED. THE SUPVR ON DUTY LATER INFORMED ME HE HEARD ME ADVISE LCL E TO TURN ACR X L TO 140 DEGS. TO AVOID THIS IN THE FUTURE; CTLRS SHOULD APPLY THE SOP'S AS THEY WERE DESIGNED AND TRAINED TO DO.
