The atmospheric energy budget and implications for surface fluxes and ocean heat transports

摘要: Comprehensive diagnostic comparisons and evaluations have been carried out with the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) European Centre Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalyses of vertically integrated atmospheric energy budgets. For 1979 to 1993 focus is on monthly means divergence transports. February 1985 April 1989, when there are reliable top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) radiation data from Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), implied mean surface fluxes derived compared those assimilating models Ocean Atmosphere Data Set (COADS), both locally zonally integrated, deduce ocean meridional heat
