Potential Momentum and the equilibration of short Charney waves
This paper proposes a new formalism for studying the extratropical circulation, based on the concept of potential momentum. Mathematically, the potential momentum is defined as the zonal momentum profile that produces the same potential vorticity distribution as the baroclinic term. Physically, east...
