CAV
[ Conservation of Absolute Vorticity ] -- The principle first outlined by Carl-Gustav Rossby in the 1930's which accounts for the tendency for upper atmospheric flow to take up a wave-like pattern. The theory can be used to predict the wavelength and speed of translation of the long-waves found in the atmosphere, which in turn govern the broad 'weather type' at any one point.
