  7. What forces the necessary subsidence? Canonical jet streak circulation can also be considered in terms of vorticity advection by the thermal wind Sutcliffe (1947) and Trenberth (1978) show that this simplified expression depends upon neglecting deformation terms - not wise when considering fronts/jets

  10. What forces the necessary subsidence? Temperature advection along the jet alters the distribution of ascent/descent. Specifically, cold air advection in cyclonic shear leads to subsidence directly beneath the jet axis So, cold air advection in cyclonic shear (i.e. along the jet) is strongly upper-frontogenetical Is there a way to relate rotation of isentropes to vertical motion?
