A generalization of Ertel's potential vorticity to a cloudy, precipitating atmosphere
This paper discusses the generalization of Ertel's PV to a cloudy, precipitating atmosphere. The recommended generalization is P = ρ-1ζ ˙ ∇θρ, where ρ is the total density of moist air, ζ is the absolute vorticity, and θρ is the virtual potential temperature. Associated with this form are three...
