On quasi-periodic Baroclinic variability in the extratropical circulation
… studies have demonstrated that large-scale extratropical wave activity is characterized by quasi-periodic behavior on timescales of 20-30 days, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. This phenomenon has been termed the Baroclinic Annular Mode (BAM), and is responsible for the modulation of …

Inhomogeneous potential vorticity homogenization and equilibrium in simple models of baroclinic instability with implications for the extratropical circulation by Pablo Zurita-Gotor.
… eddies are an important component of the General Circulation which regulate the extratropical climate by transporting heat and momentum. An idealization of this feedback is provided by baroclinic adjustment theories (Stone, 1978), which envision a linearly neutralized mean state. Based on the …
