TLDR
In this paper, a modification of Batchelor's (1967) solution, which takes into account the different strenghts of the anticyclonic-cyclonic pair, is able to account for the path curvature.About:

A theory for vortex rossby-waves and its application to spiral bands and intensity changes in hurricanes
TL;DR: In this article, the physics of vortex axisymmetrization was examined further, with the goal of elucidating the dynamics of outward-propagating spiral bands in hurricanes.

Submesoscale, coherent vortices in the ocean
TL;DR: A variety of observations of intense, long-lived oceanic vortices are interpreted as examples of a distinct phenomenon, which is given the name Submesoscale, Coherent Vortices (SCV's).
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport by coherent barotropic vortices
TL;DR: In this article, the transport properties of coherent vortices in rotating barotropic flows have been studied and it is shown that vortice induce regular Lagrangian motion inside their cores and are highly impermeable to inward and outward particle fluxes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolated Eddy Models in Geophysics
TL;DR: In the Earth's ocean, we find similar long-lived structures, e.g., Gulf Stream rings as mentioned in this paper, that can progress over thousands of kilometers. But, because of the extremely active role of the thermodynamic proces, these properties may require quite different explanations.

On Chaplygin's investigations of two-dimensional vortex structures in an inviscid fluid
TL;DR: The authors describes exact solutions of two-dimensional vortex structures that were published by Chaplygin (1899, 1903) at the turn of the last century, which seem to have escaped the attention of later investigators in this field.

An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics
TL;DR: The dynamique des : fluides Reference Record created on 2005-11-18 is updated on 2016-08-08 and shows improvements in the quality of the data over the past decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scale Analysis of Deep and Shallow Convection in the Atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, Batchelor's approximate equations of motion were derived by a formal scale analysis, with the assumption that the percentage range in potential temperature is small and that the time scale is set by the Brunt-Vaisala frequency.

Persistent Anomalies of the Extratropical Northern Hemisphere Wintertime Circulation: Geographical Distribution and Regional Persistence Characteristics
Randall M. Dole,Neil Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the geographical and regional persistence characteristics of wintertime Northern Hemisphere 500 mb height anomalies, focusing particular attention on the behavior of strong anomalies that persist beyond the durations associated with synoptic-scale variability (persistent anomalies).

Eddies in marine science
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model of the Eddies in the Ocean and its relationship with the Gulf Stream in order to understand the evolution and evolution of the current in the Indian Ocean.

The dynamics of baroclinic and barotropic solitary eddies
TL;DR: In this article, exact nonlinear solutions to the inviscid quasigeostrophic two-layer equations were derived, which represent isolated eddies with an amplitude that decays rapidly away from the eddy.
