Abstract
The evidence from observational calculations and a numerical simulation experiment point to the dominance of the baroclinic process over the non-linear cascade of kinetic energy in the spectral range 7 ? m ? 15 in atmospheric flow ( m is the wavenumber). It is therefore suggested that the power law governing this portion of the kinetic energy spectrum be derived using C i , the imaginary part of the phase speed commonly used in studies of baroclinic instability. Evidence is presented to support this view. DOI: 10.1111/j.2153-3490.1972.tb01556.x
