Vorticity Vertical component of vorticity: i. e. , the rotation about the local vertical There are three types of vorticity used in geophysical fluid dynamics If the wind is geostrophic, the geostrophic relative vorticity is given by
Vorticity + x
Divergence: From the continuity equation - For incompressible flow: Most meteorologists simply use divergence when they mean the horizontal divergence
Divergence
Vorticity and Divergence Why they are important? What’s the unit? What’s the order of the magnitude? Relative Vorticity (Synoptic Scales) Why?
Vorticity and Divergence (Synoptic Scale) Relative Vorticity Same signs for both terms
Vorticity in Nature Coordinates n S Curvature effect - V Shear effect The smaller the R (i. e. , curved more, shorter waves), the stronger the curvature term. R is positive for cyclonic circulation and negative for anticyclonic circulation.
