The nonlinear dynamics of baroclinic wave ensembles
A theory is developed to describe the weakly nonlinear dynamics which applies in the simultaneous presence of several, long, baroclinic waves. The geometry is flat (i.e. β = 0) and dissipation is modelled by Ekman friction in the context of the quasi-geostrophic two-layer model. Three main problems...
