The Motion of Barotropic Disturbances in the Upper Troposphere
Abstract
Oscillations of a barotropic model of the upper troposphere are studied, taking into account the existence of a zone of intense westerly circulation found in this region of the atmosphere. The fundamental frequencies of these oscillations are determined and some comments are made with regard to their dispersive properties.
