| description abstract | Amplitude vacillation is studied using a spectral version of the two-level quasi-geostrophic model in a ?-plane channel. The parameters are chosen so that only a single wave may be unstable to the undisturbed basic state. It is shown that the weakly nonlinear theories which have been proposed do not work well on the ?-plane, because nonlinear interactions are not negligible even though only a single wave has any significant amplitude. The energetics and mechanism of amplitude vacillation on a ?-plane are discussed for a case with moderate dissipation and contrasted with the mechanism on an f-plane. | |
