Given: an air column stretching from surface to fixed tropopause height of 10 km. zeta is initially zero initially. Latitude = 53◦N. Column then moves until over some mountain barrier (mountain barrier height = 1.6 km, latitude 43◦N). Please find the columns absolute and relative vorticity values as said column moves over the mountain barrier. ASSUMPTION: The flow satisfies the barotropic potential vorticity equation.
