Moist Formulations of the Eliassen–Palm Flux and Their Connection to the Surface Westerlies

The Eliassen–Palm (EP) flux is an important diagnostic for wave propagation and wave–mean flow interaction in the atmosphere. Here, two moist formulations of the EP flux are compared with the traditional dry EP flux, and their links to the surface westerlies are analyzed using reanalysis data and si...
