Numerical simulations of nonlinear baroclinic instability with a spherical wave-mean flow model
A global, multi-level, wave-mean flow model based on an approximate version of the primitive equations is developed to investigate the development of a baroclinic wave field initially confined to a single zonal wavenumber. The effects of physical processes (surface drag and thermal damping) and inte...
