Influence of bottom topography on vortex stability

The effects of topography on the linear stability of both barotropic vortices and two-layer, baroclinic vortices are examined by considering cylindrical topography and vortices with stepwise relative vorticity profiles in the quasi-geostrophic approximation. Four vortex configurations are considered...
