Abstract: The energetics of a numerically simulated easterly wave is studied. A quasi-geostrophic model is used. The easterly wave is generated by specifying a diabatic heating wave which represents the effects of deep cumulus ...

Abstract: The vorticity budget of a numerically simulated easterly wave is studied, with special emphasis on examining the effects of cumulus convective transport. A quasi-geostrophic model is used. The easterly wave is generated ...
