Beyond Linear Decomposition: a Nonlinear Eigenspace Decomposition for a Moist Atmosphere with Clouds
Antoine Remond-Tiedrez, Leslie M. Smith, Samuel N. Stechmann
A linear decomposition of states underpins many classical systems. This is the case of the Helmholtz decomposition, used to split vector fields into divergence-free and potential c…

Non-conservation and conservation for different formulations of moist potential vorticity
Parvathi Kooloth, Leslie M. Smith, Samuel N. Stechmann
Potential vorticity (PV) is one of the most important quantities in atmospheric science. The PV of each fluid parcel is known to be conserved in the case of a dry atmosphere. Howev…
