Abstract
The basic properties of planetary flows are studied within the framework of the noncanonical Hamiltonian approach formulated by Morrison. A zonal-symmetric decomposition is applied in Order to characterize the contributions of the different dynamical terms. Steady states and the Lorenz energy and angular momentum cycles are also written within the Lie-Poisson bracket formalism. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
