Description:

"The principle of the conservation of potential vorticity formed the basis for early work in numerical weather prediction (Charney and Phillips; 1953). During the past decade, modeling research has departed from those early roots. It occurred to me that I have no recollection of ever seeing the potential vorticity theorem stated in the general a coordinate system (Phillips, 1957; Shuman and Hovermale, 1968)"--Introduction.
