The energetics response to a warmer climate: relative contributions from the transient and stationary eddies

We use the Lorenz Energy Cycle (LEC) to evaluate changes in global energetic activity due to CO<sub>2</sub>-doubling in the coupled atmosphere-ocean ECHAM5/MPI-OM model. Globally, the energetic activity – measured as the total conversion rate of available potential energy...
