Comment on a Note on the Kinetic Energy Balance of Zonal Wind Systems

Pages 68-70 | Published online: 15 Dec 2016
 

Abstract

Since Kuo's equation of balaiice of tlie kinetic energy of zonal motion in the atmosphere is of basic importance for the study of the general circulation (Kuo 19511), I wish to point out that this equation may be simplified if account is taken of the equation of continuity for the mean motion of the atmosphere.
