Title: NONLINEAR BAROTROPIC INSTABILITY INCLUDING FRICTION DISSIPATION, THERMAL DRIVING AND LARGE TOPOGRAPHY
Abstract:From a nonlinear quasi-geostrophic barotropic vorticity equation including frictional dissipation, thermaldriving and large topography used by Charney in investigation of the multiple flow equilibria ...From a nonlinear quasi-geostrophic barotropic vorticity equation including frictional dissipation, thermaldriving and large topography used by Charney in investigation of the multiple flow equilibria and blocking,using the Serrin-Joseph energy method and the variational principle, we found the nonlinear barotropicstability criteria of the zonal basic flow with the total energy, total enstrophy and their linear combinationrespectively, and compared the criteria with Charney’s results.Read More
