Abstract

NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCEparameter values) C, C', D and D' remain non-zero. Therefore, it follows from Eq. (4) that 0 will diverge at the poles and pass outside the physical domain (0 to 1) at polar latitudes, a result that cannot be avoided by increasing the accuracy to which t is estimated. Paltridge's calculations did not extend beyond 64"N and 64"S, and so did not meet this limitation. Hence, the assumption of maximum vertical heat flux cannot be applied in the polar regions, for to retain it would require that (D'C-C'D) + 0 at the poles which would involve additional assumptions about high latitude atmospheric radiation processes. The assumption is also inapplicable if (g -d) is small.Paltridge, G. W. 1975 Global dynamics and climatea system of minimum entropy exchange, Quart. REFERENCE
