The structure and evolution of elliptical barotropic modons

Explicit stationary solutions to the equations of vorticity conservation on the $f$- and $\beta $-planes are considered, describing barotropic dipoles (modons) with elliptical frontiers. The far field – outside the elliptical separatrix demarcating the regions of closed and open streamlines – is giv...
