Synoptic-scale Vorticity Dynamics

Synoptic-Scale Vorticity Dynamics is a theoretical framework within atmospheric dynamics that specifically describes the evolution and balance of vorticity associated with mid-latitude weather systems on the synoptic scale, under the quasi-geostrophic approximation, by isolating the contributions of advection, stretching, and baroclinic generation to rotational wind components.
