Bases: State

Barotropic instable jet setup with 2 zonal jets

Description

A Barotropic instable jet setup with 2 zonal jets and a perturbation on top of it. The jet is given by:

\[u = 2.5 \left( \exp\left(-\left(\frac{y - 0.75 L_y}{\sigma L_y \pi}\right)^2\right) - \exp\left(-\left(\frac{y - 0.25 L_y}{\sigma L_y \pi}\right)^2\right) \right)\]

where \(L_y\) is the domain length in the y-direction, and \(\sigma\) is the width of the jet. The perturbation is given by:

\[v = A \sin \left( \frac{2 \pi}{L_x} k_p x \right)\]

where \(A\) is the amplitude of the perturbation and \(k_p\) is the wavenumber of the perturbation. When geo_proj is set to True, the initial condition is projected to the geostrophic subspace using the geostrophic eigenvectors.

Parameters

msetModelSettings

The model settings.

wavenumint

The wavenumber of the perturbation.

waveampfloat

The amplitude of the perturbation.

jet_widthfloat

The width of the jet.

geo_projbool

Whether to project the initial condition to the geostrophic subspace.
