Two Applications of Potential Vorticity ThinkingSource: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1987:;Volume( 044 ):;issue: 011::page 1554Author:Robinson, Walter A.

Abstract: Reasoning in terms of potential vorticity provides physical explanations for the dissipative destabilization of external Rossby waves and for the acceleration of the zonal mean jet during baroclinic life cycles. Both explanations depend upon the equivalence between surface temperature and a sheet of potential vorticity located just above the surface.
