Baroclinic instability in an Euler equations-based column model: The coexistence of a deep synoptic-scale mode and shallow subsynoptic-scale modes
The authors provide a detailed analysis of a shallow mode of subsynoptic-scale baroclinic instability by analyzing a one-dimensional column model in which the assumption of balance is applied to the basic-state flow but in which nongeostrophic unbalanced effects are retained in the description of th...
