Lee vorticity production by large-scale tropical mountain ranges. Part I: Eastern North Pacific tropical cyclogenesis

Numerical simulations using the Penn State University/NCAR MMR model are used to examine a dry, stably stratified, zonal easterly flow past a large-scale three-dimensional mountain range in a rotating, initially barotropic, atmosphere.
