Lobe dynamics applied to barotropic Rossby-wave breaking

We applied the methods of lobe dynamics to the problem of transport across the edge of a barotropic vortex patch. The model used captures the essential dynamics of filament shedding in the wintertime stratospheric polar vortex. Two approaches were adopted for the problem: (1) the dominant periodic c...
