1.Poleward reflection near breaking level drives waves toward high- latitudes 2.Wave convergence decelerates mean flow; critical line established 3.Further vertical wave propagation is effectively trapped below critical line. 4.Waves converge onto progressively lower levels of the atmosphere, critical line descent (“downward propagation”). Wave Propagation Wave-mean flow interaction Latitude EP flux convergence mean flow deceleration Critical line Dynamical Mechanism
