Abstract: 30-yr climatology of Rossby wave breaking (RWB) on the Southern Hemisphere (SH) tropopause is formed using 30 yr of reanalyses. Composite analysis of potential vorticity and meridional fluxes of wave activity show that RWB ...

Abstract: AbstractThe link between Rossby wave breaking and ridging Atlantic Ocean anticyclones in the South African domain is examined using NCEP?DOE AMIP-II reanalysis data. A simple composite analysis, which used the duration of ...
