On the advection of tracer by eddies on the beta-plane: A numerical study
The evolution of tracer "injected" into an equivalent barotropic eddy on the beta-plane is examined numerically. The eddy is governed by the standard quasigeostrophic equation, and the concentration of tracer is governed by the advection equation with diffusion. At the initial mome...
