A Conservation Law for Small-Amplitude Quasi-Geostrophic Disturbances on a Zonally Asymmetric Basic FlowSource: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1983:;Volume( 040 ):;issue: 001::page 85Author:Andrews, David G.

Abstract: A quadratic conservation law is derived for small-amplitude quasi-geostrophic disturbances on a wavy basic state. The law may be useful for describing the three-dimensional propagation of disturbances on time-averaged flows. This parallels the use of the generalized Eliassen-Palm theorem in the description of waves propagating on zonally-averaged flows.
