Abstract
An attempt is made to determine the order of magnitude of the large‐scale vertical eddy flux of angular momentum in the free atmosphere for the middle latitude region 30°N to 60°n. It is suggested that a significant portion of the vertical flux may be transported downward by vertical eddies associated with migratory cyclones and anticyclones in middle latitudes.Keywords
