Tropical Vorticity Forcing and Superrotation in the Spherical Shallow Water Equations
Suhas DL, Jai Sukhatme, Joy M. Monteiro
The response of the nonlinear shallow water equations (SWE) on a sphere to tropical vorticity forcing is examined with an emphasis on momentum fluxes and the emergence of a superro…

Quasi-geostrophic dynamics in the presence of moisture gradients
Joy M. Monteiro, Jai Sukhatme
The derivation of a quasi-geostrophic (QG) system from the rotating shallow water equations on a midlatitude beta-plane coupled with moisture is presented. Condensation is prescrib…
