摘要
In a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model, a baroclinic vortex is submitted to a periodic forcing of its mean baroclinic azimuthal velocity. It is shown that parametric effects could stabilize a vortex which is baroclinically unstable in the absence of forcing. Conversely, parametric resonance can destabilize a baroclinically stable vortex, under conditions on the vortex parameters, on the ratio of layer thicknesses or on the forcing frequency.
