barotropic

A sea surface (so-called barotropic) pressure gradient therefore develops that pushes water northward across the ridge.

Integration of the nondivergent barotropic equation with an icosahedral hexagonal grid on the sphere.

Global coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models 2009

With the exception of participation in a field campaign in northern Sweden, led by Dr. Georg Witt to measure the properties of noctilucent clouds, which appear during summer at about 85 km altitude in the coldest parts of atmosphere, and some programming work related to this, I was until about 1966 mainly involved in various meteorological projects, especially helping to build and run some of the first numerical (barotropic) weather prediction models.

As best I can infer thus far, since horizontal wind shear can distort waves in such a way as to cause them to transport momentum up gradient, strengthenning the basic-state wind shear, then a barotropic (invariant in height) shift in the westerlies could be self-reinforcing or self-strengthenning in how it shapes the life-cycles of transient waves and also how it may interact with more persistent waves (like the quasi-stationary ones).

This indicates that the overturning baroclinic circulation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf (near-bed inflow-surface outflow) is a more important influence on basal melt / freeze and sediment distributions than the barotropic circulation that produces inflow in the east and outflow in the west of the ice front.
