Surface effects in quasi-geostrophic dynamics

The topic of this thesis is the wave dynamics of surface quasi-geostrophic (surface QC) flows. The surface QG equation set is a simple model of large-scale atmospheric and oceanic flows near horizontal boundaries such as low-level atmospheric weather systems, upper-ocean currents and also undulation...
