Optimal growth of Eady edge waves

The classical Eady model with interior perturbation potential vorticity q′ = 0 and a modification with β ≠ 0 are treated in terms of edge waves, which are propagating on the oppositely directed pseudo-potential vorticity gradients induced by the rigid upper and lower lid. By this reformulation it is...
