Forced finite-time barotropic instability

The finite-time barotropic instability problem is modified by investigating the impact of an anomalous (steady) forcing on the development of optimal initial perturbations. Although the model considered is linear, due to the nonlinear optimization procedure the addition of a forcing can influence th...
