Wave interactions and baroclinic chaos: A paradigm for long timescale variability in planetary atmospheres
Baroclinic instability is the principal mode of non-axisymmetric flow in the large-scale atmospheric circulation at mid-latitudes, and is responsible for oganising the structure and behaviour of major weather systems. This instability can also be fruitfully studied in the laboratory under controlled...
