Poleward Flux of Temperature
qTransient eddy fluxes dominant the meridional flux of temperature except in the Northern Hemisphere during winter, when stationary eddies contribute up to half of the flux.
qThe low-level maximum in the troposphere is associated with the structure of growing mid-latitude cyclones (I.e., weather systems).
