Description :
Averaging periods of less than about 10 days do not permit a clear separation of total eddy momentum and heat fluxes into their transient and standing eddy components. Between 10 and 30 days, the definition of these components is less sensitive to the specific averaging period chosen during the winter. The AA. illustrate one use of monitoring general circulation statistics on short time scales by studying the evolution of 10-days mean eddy fluxes of sensible heat and their relation to changes in the meridional temperature gradient during this winter (1976-1977). (JPB).
