Atmospheric kinetic energy at 500 mb as a function of zonal wave number.
An adequate portrayal of the global distribution of kinetic energy is fundamental to our understanding of the general circulation of the atmosphere. Since there are insufficient wind observations to carry out direct computations it is customary to supplement them with pressure or geopotential height...

| Summary: | An adequate portrayal of the global distribution of kinetic energy is fundamental to our understanding of the general circulation of the atmosphere. Since there are insufficient wind observations to carry out direct computations it is customary to supplement them with pressure or geopotential height data and to use space and time continuity to obtain analyzed weather maps.
