Contour Dynamics for Surface Quasi-Geostrophic Fronts

arXiv:1907.06593 · doi:10.1088/1361-6544/ab8d16

Abstract

We use contour dynamics to derive equations of motion for infinite planar surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) fronts, and show that it leads to the same result as a regularization procedure introduced previously by Hunter and Shu (2018).
