Undulating coherent structures in two-dimensional turbulence: A quasi -equilibrium approach
The Great Dark Spot (GDS) on Neptune provides a particularly interesting example of a long-lived, large-scale coherent structure in geostrophic turbulence. This coherent structure exhibits periodic oscillations in the aspect ratio and the orientation with respect to the zonal direction of the GDS. P...
