RISA Note on the Conservation of Potential Vorticity Across a Discontinuity in Shallow Water with Application to Theories of Equatorial Dynamics and Rossby Lee Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that potential vorticity, as usually defined for slow motions in shallow water, is conserved across a discontinuity in bottom slope if the total depth is continuous, but not across a discontinuity in the depth ...
