On the mix-down times of dynamically active potential vorticity filaments
A simple model is used to study the evolution of potential vorticity filaments, viewed in cross-section, subject to steady shear and deformation flows representative of the large-scale atmospheric circulation. It is found that the balanced, ageostrophic circulation induced by the anomalous potential...
