Analysis of a Galerkin-Characteristic algorithm for the potential vorticity-stream function equations
In this thesis we develop and analyze a Galerkin-Characteristic method to integrate the potential vorticity equations of a baroclinic ocean. The method proposed is a two stage inductive algorithm. In the first stage the material derivative of the potential vorticity is approximated by combining...
