Dynamics of an isolated barotropic eddy on a beta-plane

The dynamics of a Gaussian isolated barotropic eddy on a β-plane is considered. The analytical solution of the evolution of an isolated vortex is constructed by analogy to the theory of a point vortex. The results of a numerical experiment are compared with the conclusions of the theory for the case...
