q Absolute angular momentum at Equator =
Absolute angular momentum at 60°N
q The observed zonal velocity at the equatoru
is ueq = -5
m/sec.
Therefore, the total velocity at the equator is U=rotational velocity
(U0 + uEq)
q The
zonal wind velocity at 60°N (u60N) can
be determined by the following:
(U0 + uEq) * a * Cos(0°) = (U60N + u60N) * a
* Cos(60°)
(W*a*Cos0° - 5)
* a * Cos0° = (W*a*Cos60° + u60N) * a
* Cos(60°)
u60N = 687 m/sec !!!!
