Abstract
Results of evaluation of different forms of available potential energy and kinetic energy based on direct observations of temperature, wind and geopotential carried out in southern hemisphere during the IGY, are presented. The spatial distribution of various energy forms, for each of the three periods October–March (summer semester), April–September (winter semester) and the year is shown in tabular and graphical forms, including latitudinal and vertical cross sections. The theoretical framework this investigation is based on, consists of the general equations of atmospheric energetics in the space-time domain. It is found that the highest seasonal values occur generally in winter, the most important contributions to eddy energy forms being due to transient eddies.
