OSTI ID:5107670
The atmospheric angular momentum balance is studied by analyzing the data during a simulated January of the Oregon State University two-level atmospheric general circulation model. Monthly zonal means of the Coriolis torques, the vertical transfer of relative angular momentum by penetrating convection, midlevel convection, background viscosity, pressure force and vertical motion, the meridional transfer of relative angular momentum by the standing zonal mean motion, standing eddies and transient motion, and the surface exchange of relative angular momentum by oceanic and continental friction and mountain torque are computed.
