A simple model of the global angular momentum budget

Basic features of the observed auto- and crosscovariance functions of the axial global angular momentum and of the related mountain and friction torques are interpreted in the light of a simple linear β-plane model. Rossby waves are exited by white noise forcing in this barotropic model. Their propa...
