Abstract:
Nonlinear stability criterion for the generalized Eady model is improved by establishing an optimal Poincaréinequality. The inequality is derived from a variational calculation considering an additional constraint of invariant of zonal momentum. Two cases that ρ(z)=ρ0 and ρ(z)=ρ0e-z/H are discussed, respectively, where ρ(z) is the prescribed reference-state density and ρ0 is a constant. The improved nonlinear stability criteria are the same as the linear ones provided that the ratios of the meridional width to the channel length are less than or equal to 0.84402 for the case one and 0.86068 for the case two, respectively.
