Climatological annual cycle of the generation of zonal available potential energy (a), generation of eddy available potential energy (b), zonal available potential energy (c), eddy available potential energy (d), zonal kinetic energy (e), eddy kinetic energy (f), dissipation of KZ (g), and dissipation of KE (h) for the period from 1979 to 1999. Standard units are 10⁵ Jm⁻² for energy terms and Wm⁻² for generation and dissipation terms.
