▪ Abstract This article reviews the transport properties of coherent vortices in rotating
barotropic flows. It is shown that vortices induce regular Lagrangian motion inside their …

The emergence of coherent vortex structures is a characteristic feature of quasi-geostrophic
or two-dimensional turbulence and because of their relevance to large-scale geophysical …

This book is a comprehensive and intensive monograph for scientists, engineers and
applied mathematicians, as well as graduate students in fluid dynamics. It starts with a brief …

Angular Momentum Eddy Detection and Tracking Algorithm (AMEDA) and Its Application to
Coastal Eddy Formation in: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology Volume 35 Issue 4 …

The spiral bands that occur in tropical cyclones can be conveniently divided into two classes—
outer bands and inner bands. Evidence is presented here that the outer bands form as the …

Flight-level profiles of vorticity and tangential wind observed in (a) Hurricane Gilbert (1988)
at 1934 UTC 13 Sep (700-mb pressure altitude), and Hurricane Guillermo (1997) at (b) 1935 …

Laboratory experiments on barotropic vortices in a rotating fluid revealed that the instability
behaviour of cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices is remarkably different. Depending on its …

In this paper, we study the interaction of two co-rotating trailing vortices. It is well-known that
vortices of like-sign ultimately merge to form a single vortex, and there has been much work …

Magnetically confined columns of electrons are excellent experimental manifestations of two‐
dimensional (2‐D) vortices in an inviscid fluid. Surface charge perturbations on the electron …

A large (80–90 km in diameter) anticyclonic eddy centered at 43° N, 37–38° E has been the
subject of complex investigation in the summer‐autumn of 1999 based on measurements …
