[MITgcm-support] tendency of kinetic energy diagnostics

[Yuan Lian]

Hi, XXXXX,

One way you can diagnose the tendency of the kinetic energy is 
programming with Matlab. Here are some nice references for how to 
calculate it:

"Physics of Climate" (book) by Peixoto and Oort, page 375-379, 1991.
"Available potential energy and the maintenance of the general 
circulation" by Lorenz, Tellus, 7, page 157-167, 1955.

The programming is pretty straight forward based on the equations 
provided by the references above.
