Abstract
The rate of generation of kinetic energy of mean zonal motions by the large-scale horizontal eddies in the atmosphere is computed from three independent sets of hemispheric wind data. The results are larger than certain analogous dissipation estimates would require. Meteorological implications of the material are discussed.
