STUDY ON THE KINETIC ENERGY BUDGET OF A TYPHOON——BUDGETS OF KINETIC ENERGY IN GENERAL FLOW AND EDDY KINETIC ENERGY

The present paper studies the budgets of kinetic energy in general flow and eddy kinetic energy of Typhoon No. 7, 1975, with a special emphasis on the effects of the divergent and non-divergent winds on the generatioan and transport of kinetic energy. It has been found that:（1） As the typhoon developed and intensified, the generation of kinetic energy of di-vergent wind decreased relatively while that of non-dlvergent wind significantly increased and eventually became the primary term of the generation of kinetic energy. For the entire life spau of the typhoon, the generation of kinetic energy of divergent flow is the primary source of kinetic energy （4W/m） with the production of kinetic energy by non-divergent wind being only 0.5 W/m.（2） For the budget of eddy kinetic energy, at the initial stage a large amount of eddy kinetle energy needed to be imported from the region outside the typhoon, and at the mature stage a significant amount of eddy kinetic energy was exported.
