Discussion
Which of the following is not part of the baroclinic eddy life cycle?
Cyclostrophic balance
Baroclinic growth
Maximum amplitude
Barotropic decay
Answer: A
Cyclostrophic balance describes a tornado or dust devil, in which the Coriolis force is negligible, and has no place in the life cycle of a synoptic scale baroclinic eddy. The other three are successive stages of that cycle. The scale separation between the two regimes is enormous, and keeping the vocabulary of each apart avoids a good deal of confusion.
