ABSTRACT

Studies on the spontaneous emission of gravity waves from jets, both observational and numerical, have emphasized that excitation of gravity waves occurred preferentially near regions of imbalance. Yet a quantitative relation between the several large-scale diagnostics of imbalance and the excited waves is still lacking.

The purpose of the present note is to investigate one possible way to relate quantitatively the gravity waves to diagnostics of the large-scale flow th...
