Co-rotating vortices with N fold symmetry for the inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic equation

TLDR
In this article, a variational construction of special solutions to the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations is provided, which take the form of N vortex patches with N-fold symmetry, which are steady in a uniformly rotating frame.
Abstract
We provide a variational construction of special solutions to the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations. These solutions take the form of N vortex patches with N-fold symmetry , which are steady in a uniformly rotating frame. Moreover, we investigate their asymptotic properties when the size of the corresponding patches vanishes. In this limit, we prove these solutions to be a desingularization of N Dirac masses with the same intensity, located on the N vertices of a regular polygon rotating at a constant angular velocity.

Surface quasi-geostrophic dynamics

TL;DR: The dynamics of quasi-geostrophic flow with uniform potential vorticity reduces to the evolution of buoyancy, or potential temperature, on horizontal boundaries as discussed by the authors, but a different relationship between the flow and the advected scalar creates several distinctive features, such as an elliptical vortex, the start-up vortex shed by flow over a mountain, the instability of temperature filaments, the edge wave critical layer, and mixing in an overturning edge wave.
