Abstract: An exact diagnostic formalism for finite-amplitude eddy?mean flow interaction is developed for barotropic and quasigeostrophic baroclinic flows on the beta plane. Based on the advection?diffusion?reaction equation for ...

Abstract: Formation of multiple jets in forced beta-plane turbulence is studied from the perspective of nonuniform nonconservative arrangement of potential vorticity (PV). Numerical simulations are analyzed to show that mixing and ...
