A new mesoscale-vortex identification metric: restricted vorticity and its application

Mesoscale vortices (MVs) play an important role in balancing global atmospheric momentum, moisture, and energy, and can induce almost all types of disastrous weather. To enhance the understanding of MVs, there is a need to identify them from various types of grid data. Despite the higher detection a...
