Contour Dynamics for Surface Quasi-Geostrophic Fronts

15 Jul 2019 · Hunter John K., Shu Jingyang, Zhang Qingtian ·

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).
