Three components contribute to the zonal- and time-mean
transport:
|
|
|
(1) |
Mean Meridional Circulation (such as the three-cell circulation)
|
|
|
(2) |
Stationary planetary Waves (such as the wavenumber 1-3 eddies in the
|
|
Northern Hemisphere).
|
|
|
(3) |
Transient Eddies (such as the weather systems = midlatitude cyclones
|
|
|
and anticyclones).
