Rotation and Potential Vorticity

2003
For motions whose time scales are of the order of a day or greater, or more precisely when the frequency of the wave motion is of the order of the Coriolis parameter or less, the effects of the Earth’s rotation can no longer be ignored. Such waves are evident in both oceanic and atmospheric observational spectra.

Potential Vorticity as Meridional Coordinate

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2007
Abstract The dynamical equations of atmospheric flow are written using potential vorticity as the meridional coordinate and potential temperature as the vertical coordinate. Within this system, the atmosphere is divided into undulating tubes bounded by isentropic and constant potential vorticity surfaces, and, under adiabatic and ...

On Potential Vorticity and Transport in the Stratosphere

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1977
Abstract An attempt is made to relate tracer transport in the stratosphere to the requirements of atmospheric dynamics. The relationships are illustrated by considering the observed transport and budget of potential vorticity in the Southern Hemisphere.

Potential vorticity and the PV perspective

Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2014
This paper highlights some theoretical aspects of potential vorticity (PV) and discusses some of the insights the PV perspective has given us. The topics covered include the nature of PV, its controlling role in the symmetric stability of the atmosphere, its inversion to give the flow field, Rossby waves and their coupling to give baroclinic ...
