Abstract: The baroclinic instability of highly structured one-dimensional basic states is studied using a frictionless, adiabatic, quasi-geostrophic model on a ?-plane. Square-root-pressure coordinates are used at 48 levels in the ...

Abstract: Two overlapping droplets impacting on a solid surface coalesce and recoil so that the edges of the droplets are drawn back, a phenomenon called drawback. A series of experiments were conducted ...
