Grid Calculus

This section describes how to compute quantities such as vorticity, divergence,… on the finite grid.

• Vorticity-based diagnostics
  • Relative vorticity
  • Potential vorticity \((\zeta + f) / h\)
• Computations for Potential density, buoyancy and geostrophic shear
  • Potential density
  • Buoyancy
  • Geostrophic shear
