"Energy budget equations applicable to any limited atmospheric region are developed employing the concept of available potential energy and used to calculate the energy budget over North America for March, 1962. These equations contain, in addition to the cus tomary generation, conversion, and dissipation terms, expressions for the boundary fluxes. Since it appears necessary to use a global reference state, the local available potential energy (A) is defined as the contribution the limited region makes to the global available potential energy. In this study this leads to mean values of A that are negative."
