N2 - A mechanism which accelerates the midlatitude zonal-mean wind is investigated by means of linear stability analysis for the wave-zonal flow interaction. Two kinds of models are analyzed: in the first, the basic state consists of an unstable zonal-mean state and a transient planetary wave with a finite amplitude predicted by a theoretical closure assumption based on the geostrophic turbulence model. In the second, the basic state is prescribed by a statistically stationary wave embedded in an unstable zonal-mean state. -from Authors
