Abstract

Uniform potential vorticity flows are investigated. The evolution of surface potential temperature is studied in a two-dimensional oceanic model driven by a surface heating. The surface temperature plays the role of the vorticity, but the different relationship between the streamfunction and the advected scalar implies the formation of unidirectional free waves. Important distinctive features with respect to the standard homogeneous models are pointed out.
