Total Energy Equation
</dt>
In meteorology, an expression relating all forms of energy obtained by
combining the thermodynamic
energy equation with the mechanical energy equation. This equation
expresses the fact that the combined internal, kinetic, and potential energy
in a given volume of the atmosphere can vary only as a result of: (a) the
transport of these forms of energy across the boundaries of the volume; (b)
the work done by pressure forces on the boundary; (c) the addition or removal
of heat; and (d) the dissipational effect of friction.
