Orographic modification of cyclone development

Primitive equation model simulations are used to examine the orographic modification of cyclone development. The behavior of small-amplitude normal modes on a zonally symmetric mountain ridge shows that baroclinic development is enhanced where the topography slopes in the same direction as the isent...

Zusammenfassung:Primitive equation model simulations are used to examine the orographic modification of cyclone development. The behavior of small-amplitude normal modes on a zonally symmetric mountain ridge shows that baroclinic development is enhanced where the topography slopes in the same direction as the isentropes.
