Q-Vectors
Q-vectors are used in atmospheric dynamics to understand physical processes such as vertical motion and frontogenesis. Q-vectors are not physical quantities that can be measured in the atmosphere but are derived from the quasi-geostrophic equations and can be used in the previous diagnostic situations. On meteorological charts, Q-vectors point toward upward motion and away from downward motion. Q-vectors are an alternative to the omega equation for diagnosing vertical motion in the quasi-geostrophic equations.
==Derivation==
First derived in 1978, Q-vector derivation can be simplified for the midlatitudes, using the midlatitude β-plane quasi-geostrophic prediction equations:
# \frac - f_v_a - \beta y v_g = 0 (x component of quasi-geostrophic momentum equation)
# \frac + f_u_a + \beta y u_g = 0 (y component of quasi-geostrophic momentum equation)
# \frac - \frac \omega = \frac (quasi-geostrophic thermodynamic equation)
And the thermal wind equations:
f_ \frac = \frac \frac (x component of thermal wind equation)
f_ \frac = - \frac \frac (y component of thermal wind equation)
where f_0 is the Coriolis parameter, approximated by the constant 1e−4 s−1; R is the atmospheric ideal gas constant; \beta is the latitudinal change in the Coriolis parameter \beta = \frac ; \sigma is a static stability parameter; c_p is the specific heat at constant pressure; p is pressure; T is temperature; anything with a subscript g indicates geostrophic; anything with a subscript a indicates ageostrophic; J is a diabatic heating rate; and \omega is the Lagrangian rate change of pressure with time. \omega = \frac. Note that because pressure decreases with height in the atmosphere, a - \omega is upward vertical motion, analogous to +w=\frac.
From these equations we can get expressions for the Q-vector:
Q_1 = - \frac \left(\frac \frac + \frac \frac \right )
Q_2 = - \frac \left(\frac \frac + \frac \frac \right )
And in vector form:
Q_1 = - \frac \frac \cdot \vec T
Q_2 = - \frac \frac \cdot \vec T
Plugging these Q-vector equations into the quasi-geostrophic omega equation gives:
\left(\sigma \overrightarrow + f_^2 \frac \right) \omega = -2 \vec \cdot \vec + f_ \beta \frac - \frac \overrightarrow J
Which in an adiabatic setting gives:
-\omega \propto -2 \vec \cdot \vec
Expanding the left-hand side of the quasi-geostrophic omega equation in a Fourier Series gives the -\omega above, implying that a -\omega relationship with the right-hand side of the quasi-geostrophic omega equation can be assumed.
This expression shows that the divergence of the Q-vector ( \vec \cdot \vec ) is associated with downward motion. Therefore, convergent \vec forces ascend and divergent \vec forces descend. Q-vectors and all ageostrophic flow exist to preserve thermal wind balance. Therefore, low level Q-vectors tend to point in the direction of low-level ageostrophic winds.
