Stability of Rectilinear Geostrophic Vortices in Stationary Equilibrium

Abstract

A hemispherical barotropic model of global-scale atmospheric motions is studied in a planar approximation using three (K sup 0) (Bessel)-vortices of equal strength gamma and length scale 1/Kappa to represent the sub-tropical semi-permanent high pressure systems. In equilibrium these anticyclonic vortices are equally spaced on a latitude circle of radius a.
