什么是 Mean meridional streamfunction?

Definition 28.11 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 28 章 — The General Circulation of the Atmosphere

The mean meridional streamfunction ψ(p,φ)\psi(p, \varphi) is the mass of air per second that crosses the latitude φ\varphi northwards above the pressure level pp, in the zonal and time mean:

ψ(p,φ)=2πa⊕cos⁡φg∫0p[v] dp′,\psi(p, \varphi) = \frac{2\pi a_\oplus\cos\varphi}{g}\int_0^p [v]\,\mathrm dp' ,

where [v][v] is the northward wind averaged round the parallel. It is measured in kg s−1\mathrm{kg}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}.

The mean meridional streamfunction in the northern winter (top) and the northern summer (bottom), from the zonal-mean northward wind of the NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis 1, means 1991–2020 (data provided by the NOAA PSL). Red: clockwise cells in this view (rising on their southern side), blue: anticlockwise; black: the zero lines that separate the cells. The winter Hadley cell straddles the equator and dwarfs the summer one.
