Abstract

The note by Feldstein and Robinson (hereafter referred to as FR) raises two questions. The first is whether the EOF1 of zonal wind in the numerical integrations that we carried out is correlated with the atmospheric angular velocity or with the mean angular momentum. The second is whether the ultra‐low‐frequency fluctuations which we observed have any dynamical significance or are merely ‘climate noise’. We reply to each of these issues in turn, and are grateful to FR for raising some interesting questions about our results.

## Abstract James and James (1992) examine internally generated interannual variability in a multi‐level primitive‐equation model. The authors claim that the variability in the global mean relative angular velocity is associated with fluctuations in the mid‐latitude zonally‐averaged zonal winds. We
