an index of baroclinic instability equal to the fastest growth rate of baroclinic waves, proportional to vertical wind shear divided by static stability.

In atmospheric science, Eady growth rate refers to an index of baroclinic instability equal to the fastest growth rate of baroclinic waves, proportional to vertical wind shear divided by static stability. This meaning comes from Lindzen (1980) in Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences.[1]
