Bifurcations and instabilities in rotating, two-layer fluids: II. β-plane
In this paper, we show that the behavior of weakly nonlinear waves in a 2-layer model of baroclinic instability on a <font face='Symbol'>b</font>-plane with varying viscosity is determined by a single, degenerate codimension three bifurcation. In the process, we show how pr...
