Scale interactions and diabatic processes during the development of an Atlantic blocking event

Results of a case study of the development of a major blocking event over the North Atlantic Ocean are reported with emphasis on the potential roles of interactions between synoptic-scale systems and diabatic processes in the large-scale development. The approach used here involves the analysis of t...
