Helicity production and maintenance in a baroclinic atmosphere
A canonical, maximum symmetric form of the helicity balance equation in a baroclinic fluid with two independent variables of state (e.g., in a 'dry atmosphere') is reviewed. It is emphasized that the baroclinicity per se is incapable of producing helicity. An analogy between helicity and t...
