Idealized WRF Part II: Initialization with a PV anomaly




From last time...

Initial state with relative humidity of 100%
Skew-T check for mixing ratios
Evolution of vortex as a function of relative humidity



New initializations

Initial state with relative humidity of 100%
Three-dimensional PV
Imbalance?
Evolution of vortex as a function of relative humidity



Is it any different than theta0 = 300 K?

Initial state with relative humidity of 100%
Skew-T check for mixing ratios
Evolution of vortex as a function of relative humidity



EPV Budget

How well does the budget close with only 1 diabatic source?
