Solution of the initial-value problem for the Eady model is presented. In the presence of boundaries, normal mode waves as well as non-modal waves exist. Energy extracted fro the mean flow during the initial development of a perturbation is found excite...

The asymptotic development at large time of waves arising from localized disturbances in a baroclinic flow is examined. Vertical structures unlike those associated with the more commonly examined temporal normal modes are found both for the pulse confined...

The growth of perturbations in a baoclinic flow is examined as an initial value problem. Although the long time asymptotic behavior is dominated by discrete exponentially growing normal modes when they exist, these do not form a complete set and initial...

the asymptotic response of the Charney barcolinic instability problem to a localized perturbation is determined using the formalism of Briggs (1964) and exploiting a recently obtained highly accurate WKB approximate dispersion relation (Lindzen and...
