Nonlinear interaction of waves and zonal current in a two-layer baroclinic model
By: T. J. Simons and Desiraju B. Rao
Abstract
Nonlinear interactions between a wave and a zonal current in a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model on a β-plane are considered. Initially there is no horizontal shear in the basic flow. Subsequently, the non-linear effects will introduce horizontal shears in the basic flow, thus introducing a barotropic energy exchange. Modification produced in the purely baroclinic solution by barotropic effects is presented.
