Abstract
The concept of energy has two applications in meteorological problems: it facilitates the analysis of many atmospheric processes, and it makes possible a treatment of temperature changes associated with air motion. While many analyses that are facilitated by the energy concept can be accomplished without it, the relation between characteristics of the air motion and temperature changes following the motion is essentially an energy transformation and should be so treated.
