Studies of wave-mean interaction relevant to the middle atmospheric circulation

The work described in this thesis can be divided into two parts. In the first part (Chapters 2 and 3) we demonstrate how the wave-induced mean motion can be described in terms of the dynamics of Rossby-Ertel potential vorticity (PV). In the second part (Chapters 4 and 5), Rossby waves and their mean...
