A variational approach to numerical weather analysis and prediction.

New spatial variational principles and corresponding Weber's transformations for the adiabatic motion of a perfect fluid conditions of hydrostatic balance and geostrophic equilibrium are presented. A variational principle for barotropic flow is shown. The div-invariance of the Lagrangian densit...
