Vortex life cycles in two-and three-layer quasi-geostrophic models /

Coherent vortices and their properties were studied in two- and three-layer quasi-geostrophic beta-plane turbulence. Much research has discussed vortex characteristics in a number of applications, but no significant study of vortices in turbulent regimes with jets has occurred. This research attem...
