The Effect of Large-Scale Transient Eddies on the Time-Mean Flow in the Atmosphere

The effect of horizontal transports of momentum and heat by transient eddies (TE) on the time-mean flow is studied by examining the relevant terms in a local budget of quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity. Two long-term observational data sets are used, and results for the Northern Hemisphere winte...
