Potential Vorticity Inversion/Evidence
Method evidence record

Potential Vorticity Inversion

Potential vorticity (PV) inversion is a diagnostic technique that reconstructs atmospheric wind and pressure fields from the spatial distribution of potential vorticity. This method assumes that, in a geostrophically balanced atmosphere, the PV field uniquely determines the balanced circulation around anomalies.
