The effect of shear instability on the transverse circulation in the atmosphere

In this paper it is shown that the shear fields on either side of the westerlies are dynamically unstable and will roll up to form discrete eddies. A study of the stable vortex systems into which these eddies might collect shows that a "vortex street" is stable for a certain range of the r...
