The importance of diabatic processes for the dynamics of synoptic-scale extratropical weather systems – a review

<p>Many fundamental concepts of synoptic-scale extratropical dynamics are based on the quasi-geostrophic equations of a dry atmosphere. This “dry dynamics” provides the essential understanding of, for example, the formation of extratropical cyclones and the propagation of Rossby waves and make...
