Potential vorticity: A short history of its definitions and uses
There has, in recent years, been something of a renaissance in the use of potential vorticity to interpret atmospheric dynamics. This owes a lot to the review paper of Hoskins, McIntyre and Robertson (1985). However, the definition and use of potential vorticity dates back to about 1940. In this pap...
