Numerical Analysis of the Energetical Structure of the Atmosphere over the Northern Hemisphere

Abstract

In the present paper, the results of various numerical analysis carried out from the standpoint of energetics for 500 mb level and surface maps from 24th October to 2nd November,1956, are reported. Namely, the spectral distributions of kinetic energy, momentum transfer and the behaviour of energy transformation between the available potential and kinetic energy or within each and further minute features of two domains of wave number and coefficient of friction etc., have been studied, using a modified two-layer model with the simplified ω-equation.
