Energetics studies of the OSU two-level atmospheric general circulation model

Numerical simulation of the January and July global
climate with the OSU two-level atmospheric general circulation
model has generated time series of the global
distribution of selected climatic variables. Analyses of
these data for the kinetic energy and available potential
energy based on 31-day time mean statistics have been
made in the form of the zonal mean and the transient and
stationary eddies. The generation and dissipation rates
of the various forms of energy in this model are also
computed, and the energy cycle for January and July is
presented in comparison with the corresponding results
from observation and from other models. / Graduation date: 1980
