The two most intense wildfires of the last decade that took place in Canada in 2017 and
Australia in 2019–2020 were followed by large injections of smoke into the stratosphere due …

Pancake-like vortices are often generated by turbulence in geophysical flows. Here, we
study the inertia-gravity oscillations that can exist within such geophysical vortices, due to …

We review the development of the ellipsoidal vortex model within the field of geophysical
fluid dynamics. This vortex model is built on the classical potential theory of ellipsoids and …

The linear stability of three-dimensional vortices in rotating, stratified flows has been studied
by analysing the non-hydrostatic inviscid Boussinesq equations. We have focused on a …

The fluid dynamics of the atmosphere and oceans is to a large extent controlled by the slow
evolution of a scalar field called 'potential vorticity'(PV), with relatively fast motions such as …

Geophysical turbulent flows, characterized by rapid rotation, quantified by small Rossby
number, and stable stratification, often self-organize into a collection of coherent vortices …

The structure of circular baroclinic vortices in rotating stratified fluids is examined in order to
rationalize the observed amplification of fluid rotation inside long-lived geophysical vortices …

Analysing two-dimensional shallow water equations with idealised bottom topographies
have many applications in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences; however, restrictive flow …

This paper focuses on the nonlinear interaction between a surface quasi-geostrophic
buoyancy filament and an internal vortex. We first revisit the stability of an isolated buoyancy …

In contrast to many real‐ocean rings and eddies, circular vortices in idealized two‐layer
models tend to be highly unstable, unless their radius is made small or their baroclinicity is …
