Baroclinic Waves

Baroclinic Waves is a dynamical construct in synoptic-scale atmospheric dynamics representing large-scale instabilities in the baroclinic zone that emerge under quasi-geostrophic balance, distinguished by their generation and propagation due to horizontal temperature gradients and vertical wind shear in a rotating stratified fluid.
