Abstract: The nonlinear effects due to transient eddies and stationary eddies are analysed for the large-scale winter mean circulation, based on the potential vorticity equation for the zonally asymmetric time-averaged quasi-geostrophic ...

Abstract: A linear stability analysis was made for forced stationary planetary waves to supplement the theoretical interpretation on the large dissipative role of the transient motions, using simple quasi-geostrophic models on the ...
