A note on the derivation of the quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity equation
The derivation of the quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity equation of mathematical meteorology is usually done using fairly sophisticated techniques of perturbation theory, but stops short of deriving self-consistently the stratification parameter of the mean atmospheric state. In this note we sug...
