...More importantly, they are advective attractor states in the sense that asymmetric perturbations tend to be stretched out in the symmetry direction and transfer their energy into the symmetric current [29,30], as long as the latter has a stable shear profile....

...Building on earlier work, which has identified vortex axisymmetrization as a universal process of smoothly distributed perturbed vortices ( Melander et al, 1987; Guinn and Schubert, 1993; Smith and Montgomery, 1995), Montgomery and Kallenbach (1997) developed a theoretical framework on the VRW-guide model of vortex axisymmetrization (see also a later refinement by Brunet and Montgomery, 2002; Montgomery and Brunet, 2002)....
