Abstract: Recently, Paldor et al. provided a consistent and unified theory for Kelvin, Poincaré (inertial?gravity), and Rossby waves in the rotating shallow-water equations (SWE). Unfortunately, the article has some errors, and the ...

Abstract: he surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) model describes flows with surface buoyancy perturbations with no interior quasigeostrophic potential vorticity at small Rossby number Ro and O(1) Burger number, where quasigeostrophic ...

Abstract: Motivated by the fact that time-dependent currents are ubiquitous in the ocean, this work studies the two-layer Phillips model on the beta plane with baroclinic shear flows that are steady, periodic, or aperiodic in time ...

Abstract: AbstractThe stability of lens-shaped vortices is revisited in the context of an idealized quasigeostrophic model. We compute the stability characteristics with higher accuracy and for a wider range of Burger numbers (Bu) ...
