Abstract: A cascade-type energy conversion diagram is proposed for the purpose of diagnosing the atmospheric general circulation based on wave?mean flow interactions. Mass-weighted isentropic zonal means facilitate the expression ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates an isentropic representation of the Eliassen?Palm flux (EP flux) as a tool for diagnosis of the atmospheric zonal mean states. This is a full extension of the transformed Eulerian mean (TEM) to ...
