Abstract
- A quasi-geostrophic contour dynamics model permitting one to study flows induced by a system of vortex patches in a two-layer ocean with round shore boundaries in the presence of specified background flows caused by the bottom relief, the β effect, and sources and sinks at the boundaries is proposed. The principal relations of the model are presented and the algorithm of its numerical realization is described. Some experimental results of the study of the evolution of unstable two-layer vortices are demonstrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
