The Vertical Structure of the Eddy Diffusivity and the Equilibration of the Extratropical Atmosphere
Observations suggest that the time- and zonal-mean state of the extratropical atmosphere adjusts itself such that the so-called “criticality parameter” (which relates the vertical stratification to the horizontal temperature gradient) is close to one. T. Schneider has argued that the criticality par...
