On the use of potential vorticity for the diagnosis of stratospheric synoptics
1984
According to quasi-geostrophic approximation, regions of strong cross flow gradient of geopotential vortivity support Rossby wave propagation. Using potential vorticity as a dynamical tracer, the polar vortex can be considered as a material entity. In addition to synoptic charts of geopotential heights and temperatures, maps of potential vorticity are used to describe some distinct features of the circulation of the winter stratosphere.
