- Abstract:
-
Zonal-mean storm track shifts in response to perturbations in climate occur even in ide- alized simulations of dry atmospheres with axisymmetric forcing. Nonetheless, a generally accepted theory of the mechanisms controlling the storm track shifts is still lacking. Here mean available potential energy (MAPE), a general measure of baroclinicity that is propor- tional to the square of the Eady growth rate, is used to understand storm track shifts. It is demonstrated that, in dry atmosphere...
