Reassessing thermodynamic and dynamic constraints on global wind power
A. M. Makarieva, V. G. Gorshkov, A. V. Nefiodov +3
Starting from basic physical principles, we present a novel derivation linking the global wind power to measurable atmospheric parameters. The resulting expression distinguishes th…

Heat engines and heat pumps in a hydrostatic atmosphere: How surface pressure and temperature constrain wind power output and circulation cell size
A. M. Makarieva, V. G. Gorshkov, A. V. Nefiodov +4
The kinetic energy budget of the atmosphere's meridional circulation cells is analytically assessed. In the upper atmosphere kinetic energy generation grows with increasing surface…
