4.b Properties of the unstable travelling local modes<br />

We present the results of various diagnostic analyses of the most unstable local<br />

mode for IL = U T = 0.3 (i.e., mode #1) as a representative of this class of modes. That<br />

mode is indicated by a dot in panels (a) <strong>and</strong> (c) of Fig.2 The growth rate of this mode is<br />

a r = 0.22 (e-folding scale « 5 days) <strong>and</strong> the frequency is aj = 1.62 (period » 4 days).<br />

(i) structure<br />

Shown in Fig. 3 are the normal mode perturbation streamfunctions in each layer<br />

at the two extreme phases (t = 0 <strong>and</strong> t = K /(2
