Nonlinear Transfer of Kinetic Energy in the Atmosphere Using One- and Two-Dimensional Spectral Representation.

Abstract

A review of the literature on nonlinear transfer of kinetic energy in the atmosphere using one and two dimensional spectral techniques are presented. The numerical programs for the conversion of energy have been written and tested. It was found that the hemispheric meteorological data from the AFGWC and from ETAC have serious gaps that hinder the progress of nonlinear kinetic energy transfer calculations. It is suggested to introduce an interpolation technique which will formally fill the data gaps, or, alternatively, to acquire new data sets without such gaps. Energy transfer calculations can then be successfully completed. (Author)
