This more complete result is compared with the anamolous one obtained earlier by Wiin-Nielsen, Brown and Drake (1964). The monthly averaged exchange values are in very good agreement. However, the results of the present study indicate that the estimates of the lateral and vertical boundary terms must be taken into account when studying the kinetic energy balance over this portion of the atmosphere.
