A modified quasigeostrophic equation for barotropic mean flow over topography
The standard mean flow equation of quasigeostrophic theory omits the mass term in the angular momentum budget. A modification of this equation is proposed for barotropic flow over topography where the mass term is incorporated. The modified equation is applied to a topographic instability problem. I...
