摘要：
The atmospheric mean meridional circulation is diagnostically evaluated from the annual mean data by Oort and Rasmusson (1971). Starting from the primitive equations, assuming small errors in the data set and using a variational method, two independent second-order equations for the mean meridional circulation are derived, one from the vorticity balance and the other from the thermodynamic balance. By assuming uniform errors, and taking into account only the horizontal component of the eddy fluxes of heat, momentum and geopotential, the mean meridional circulation is computed and the results of the different methods are then compared.
