SLOWLY MODULATED BAROCLINIC WAVES IN A 3-LAYER MODEL
A coupled pair of envelope equations is derived which describe the nonlinear evolution of slowly varying wave packets in a three-layer model of baroclinic instability on a beta-plane. The equations are identical in form to those obtained by Pedlosky (1972) to study wave-packet evolution in a two-lay...
