Boundary layer frictional processes in mid-latitude cyclones

This Thesis develops understanding of the physical mechanisms responsible for the frictional effects observed in cyclone development. To do this, a first-order closure mixing-length boundary layer scheme has been added to a baroclinic life cycle model to accurately represent the frictional processes...
