description abstracthe stability characteristics of the surface quasigeostrophic shielded Rankine vortex are found using a linearized contour dynamics model. Both the normal modes and nonmodal evolution of the system are analyzed and the results are compared with two previous studies. One is a numerical study of the instability of smooth surface quasigeostrophic vortices with which qualitative similarities are found and the other is a corresponding study for the two-dimensional Euler system with which several notable differences are highlighted.
