We investigate the role of diabatic processes in the evolution of Northern Hemispheric stormtracks using an isentropic slope framework as a measure of baroclinicity. Baroclinicity is depleted through isentropic tilting by eddies while it is restored by diabatic heating. We find, however, that the ph...
