A study of the time variation of perturbation kinetic energy at the 500-millibar level.

The transfer of kinetic energy by individual wave numbers is computed at various latitudes using data obtained from a harmonic analysis of the hemispheric 500 millibar pressure height. Linear correlations are sought between the computed values of kinetic energy transfer and computed 24-hour changes of kinetic energy of the perturbations for the same and for adjacent wave numbers. The writer wishes to express sincerest appreciation to Professor Frank L. Martin for his suggestion of the topic and for his guidance during the study.
