On the kinematic properties of the -3 law for kinetic energy
Abstract
It is shown that if the kinetic energy follows a —3 power law in terms of the two-dimensional index n then it will follow the same power law in term of the zonal wave number l and the north-south wave number j. The effects of truncation of representations on these power laws are documented to aid in the interpretation of data analyses and model results.
