Shear instabilities in shallow-water magnetohydrodynamics

The interaction of horizontal shear flows and magnetic fields in stably stratified layers is central to many problems in astrophysical fluid dynamics. Motions in such stratified systems, such as the solar tachocline, may be studied within the shallow-water approximation, valid when the horizontal le...
