A horizontal internal (so-called baroclinic) pressure gradient will therefore develop which forces the deep water towards and across the ridge.

Ocean processes of climatic importance in the Arctic 2009

The Jablonski and Williamson paper poses two such tests: steady state test case and evolution of a baroclinic wave.

Last week there was a high degree of excitation in the Italian met blogsphere because all numerical models forecasted a powerfull, non baroclinic low south of Sicily, eventually moving toward the island.

I have occassional interaction with Isaac Held on the topic of baroclinic equilibration the question as to how the level of storminess in midlatitudes responds to changes in the large scale temperature gradient.

As the northern branch seasonally intensifies and buckles south, baroclinic forces obviously predominate, but winter storms that form “in the box” 40/70regularly tap heat content of tropical origin.
