THE POTENTIAL-ENERGY BUDGET OF THE STRATOSPHERE OVER NORTH AMERICA DURING THE WARMING OF 1957
The evaluation of the terms in the balance equation for potential and internal energy, was carried out using the 100-mb, 50-mb and 25-mb values of geopotential, temperature, the geostrophic wind components and adiabatic vertical motion at each point of a grid covering most of the North American cont...

Summary: | The evaluation of the terms in the balance equation for potential and internal energy, was carried out using the 100-mb, 50-mb and 25-mb values of geopotential, temperature, the geostrophic wind components and adiabatic vertical motion at each point of a grid covering most of the North American continent and the adjacent North Atlantic. The investigation considered a limited volume in which changes in potential and internal energy (alternatively referred to as total potential energy) were affected by flux of energy across the boundaries. |
