Analysis reports the efficiency of angular momentum conservation in the Australian tropical troposphere, suggesting seasonal variations.
The mean zonal wind variation with latitude in the Australian high tropical troposphere is consistent with partial conservation of absolute angular momentum requirements. The efficiency of this conservation is discussed in terms of large and small-scale motions. Australian tropical monthly mean efficiency indices are derived for the period 1961 to 1971. Winter is characterised by high efficiency indices and summer by significantly lower values.
