The initial conditions for baroclinic life cycle simulations are the same as in Schäfer an dVoigt, 2018 (https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2017GL076726) and follow the life cycle type 1 configuration of Polvani and Esler, 2007 (https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2007JD008555) with the zonally uniform zonal wind in thermal wind balance with a zonally uniform temperature field.

The maximum speed of the jet is set to 45 m/s and is centered at 45°N. Meridional and vertical velocities are also set to 0 m/s. The initial surface temperature is 300 . The baroclinic life cycle is triggered by adding a sinusoidal thermal wave with a 1 K amplitude at all levels and with a wavelength equal to the domain length. The surface relative humidity (RH0), is set to 80%, and the moisture scale height (Zt) is set to 12 km. The relative humidity is specified according to:
