Numerical results of the "ao-" and the "o,'V~-formulation" of the atmospheric energy conversion integral, as derived from ECMWF-data, are presented and discussed. I t is shown that even global integrals of either formulation are considerably different. If the integration area is restricted to hemispheres, the differences --though growing somewhat largerare of similar magnitude. The results suggest that numerical evaluations of the baroclinic energy conversion process are still assochted with a considerable degree of uncertainty.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
