On sharp vorticity gradients in elongating baroclinic eddies and their stabilization with a solid‐body rotation

Abstract Wide compensated vortices are not able to remain circular in idealized two‐layer models unless the ocean depth is assumed to be unrealistically large. Small perturbations on both cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies grow slower if a middle layer with uniform potential vorticity (PV) is added, o...
