It is a useful concept for understanding the generation of vorticity in cyclogenesis (the birth and development of a cyclone), especially along the polar front, and in analyzing flow in the ocean. In meteorology, the potential vorticity unit (PVU) is defined as $\backslash equiv\; 1\; PVU$. It is also useful in tracing intrusions of stratospheric air deep into the troposphere in the vicinity of jet streaks, a concentrated region within a jet stream where the wind speeds are the strongest. It acts as a flow tracer in the ocean as well. It can also be used to explain how a range of mountains like the Andes can make the upper westerly winds swerve towards the equator and back. Baroclinic instability requires the presence of a potential vorticity gradient along which waves amplify during cyclogenesis. ==PV conservation== Carl-Gustaf Rossby first introduced potential vorticity in his 1936 paper "(Dynamics of steady ocean currents in the light of experimental fluid mechanics )". This work was based on an analysis of a shallow water model of the Gulf Stream. The concept was developed further, within a few years of Rossby's seminal paper, by Hans Ertel. Mathematically, Ertel's form of potential vorticity is given by the equation: $=\; \backslash frac\backslash ,\backslash zeta\backslash ,^a\backslash cdot\backslash ,\backslash nabla\backslash theta$ where $\backslash rho$ is the fluid density, $\backslash zeta^a$ is the absolute vorticity and $\backslash nabla\; \backslash theta$ is the gradient of the potential temperature. It can be shown through a combination of the first law of thermodynamics and momentum conservation that potential vorticity can only be changed by diabatic heating (such as latent heat released from condensation) or frictional processes. This conservation is the atmospheric equivalent to inertia. A spinning ice skater with her arms spread out laterally can accelerate her rate of spin by contracting her arms. Similarly, when a vortex of air is broad, it is in turn, slow. When the air converges, to maintain potential vorticity, the air speed increases, resulting in a stretched ring vortex. Divergence causes the vortex to spread, slowing down the rate of spin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Potential vorticity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
