hierarchical_section_title: Lorenz energy cycle
caption_attribution_description: English: Schematic representation of the Lorenz Energy Cycle: Reservoirs, sources and sinks of energy in the atmospheric circulation. With notes/examples for each energy conversion process. More information e.g.: "An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology" by James R. Holton (book), chapter 10 ("The General Circulation")
context_page_description: The Lorenz energy cycle describes the generation, conversion and dissipation of energy in the general atmospheric circulation. It is named after the meteorologist Edward N. Lorenz who worked on its mathematical formulation in the 1950s.
