Is the Coefficient of Eddy Potential Vorticity Diffusion Positive? Part I: Barotropic Zonal Channel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe question of whether the coefficient of diffusivity of potential vorticity by mesoscale eddies is positive is studied for a zonally reentrant barotropic channel using the quasigeostrophic approach. The topography ...
Influence of Bottom Topography on Integral Constraints in Zonal Flows with Parameterized Potential Vorticity Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n integral constraint for eddy fluxes of potential vorticity (PV), corresponding to global momentum conservation, is applied to two-layer zonal quasigeostrophic channel flow. This constraint must be satisfied for any type ...
