Potential Vorticity Mixing in Hurricanes: Comparison of Nondivergent and Divergent Barotropic Vortices

Abstract

This paper concentrates on the minimum enstrophy vortex (MinEV) problem, generalizing previous results for the unforced nondivergent barotropic model and extending the analysis to the divergent barotropic (shallow water) model.
