Utilizing scale separation technique by Maddox (1980) and kinetic energy equation by Carney and Vincent (1985, 1986), this paper studied meso-scale kinetic energy budget of a Taiwan Mei-Yu case of May 28, 1985. The meso-scale wavelength of 750 to 1900 km was used for the scale separation in the present study.We found that the formation of a southwesterly low-level jet in the south east China was contributed by the energy conversion produced by ageostrophic wind and by the scale interaction involving vertical velocity. After the formation, movement, maintenance and development of the low-level jet was mainly contributed by the vertical and horizontal advection. However, the development and maintenance of low-level jet to the northwest of Taiwan was mainly contributed by the horizontal and verticals scale interactions.
