Abstract

The time-average, or «stationary», state of the atmosphere can be regarded as a forced response to large-scale transient eddy transports of heat and momentum, as well as to fixed sources and sinks of heat and momentum resulting from small-scale transient eddy processes, non-adiabatic processes (e. g., radiation and phase transformations), topography, and friction. Perturbation equations governing this response are derived and a program of research based on the equations is proposed.
