A Tale of Two Gradients : Atmospheric Dynamics in an Inhomogeneous Background

The effects of a non-zero background state on atmospheric dynamics is explored through simple models and observations. Firstly, we examine the effects of moisture gradients on the stability and propagation of Rossby waves in a mid-latitude -plane. We begin by a consistent derivation of the forced qu...
