Balanced and Unbalanced Flow in Primitive Equation Model Simulations of Baroclinic Wave Life Cycles

Simulations of baroclinic wave life cycles are performed in order to illustrate the wave evolution of a cyclone and diagnose possible unbalanced flow associated with the destabilization of an upper-level jet. Development of the baroclinic wave is observed using the multilevel primitive equation Weat...
