Derivation and Solution of the Omega Equation Associated With a Balance Theory on the Sphere

Abstract The quasi‐geostrophic omega equation has been used extensively to examine the large‐scale vertical velocity patterns of atmospheric systems. It is derived from the quasi‐geostrophic equations, a balanced set of equations based on the partitioning of the horizontal wind into a geostrophic an...
