Error growth and dynamical vectors during southern hemisphere blocking

The structural organization of initially random perturbations or 'errors' evolving in a barotropic tangent linear model with time-dependent basic states taken from observations, is examined for cases of block development, maturation and decay in the Southern Hemisphere atmosphere during Ap...
