Atmospheric wave-mean flow interactions

The interactions between the zonally-averaged flow and the various eddy circulations in the atmosphere are studied using NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data. The contributions to zonal- and potential temperature-tendency and zonal kinetic energy production due to both the Ferrel and Hadley circulations ar...
