Abstract: The meridional transport of kinetic energy in a flow pattern composed of an arbitrary mean zonal current and a cellular or wave perturbation flow is studied. It is found that the meridional transport of kinetic energy in ...

Abstract: With the assumption of non-divergent horizontal flow, harmonic wave solutions of the non-linear hydrodynamic equations for a rotating, viscous fluid are obtained both for the plane and for the sphere. These solutions yield ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analysis is made of some characteristics of the steady turbulent transfer in the boundary layer of a stratified fluid. The effect of the heat flux on the variation of the mixing length and the flux ...

Abstract: An equation is derived relating the rate of change of the integrated zonal-index to the poleward angular-momentum flux convergence. The validity of the equation and its utility in forecasting the zonal-index change are ...
