摘要

Two well-known variational principles for geophysical flows are combined into a single minimax principle that characterizes distinguished steady solutions of the rotating shallow water ( RSW) equations. On the one hand, in the limit of small Rossby number ?, in which the dynamics becomes quasi-geostrophic and closes terms of the potential vorticity field Q, steady coherent states are characterized as minimizers of (generalized) enstrophy A at a given value of total energy H. On the other hand, for small amplitude motions at finite c balanced states resulting from geostrophic adjustment are characterized as minimizers of the total energy subject to a given potential vorticity Q. Moreover, the organization into a coherent state through potential vorticity mixing occurs on a slow time scale relative to the fast time scale of adjustment through inertia-gravity wave radiation. These two complementary principles suggest a variational characterization of steady balanced states for the RSW equations at finite f. Namely, the functional A-I-0N, where 0 < 0 is a parameter, is first maximized over all RSW fields with given Q, and then minimized over all Q. Any such minimax critical point of A± ON is an exact steady solution of the RSW equations, which represents a physically relevant equilibrium state at finite Rossby number. This minimax principle is implemented numerically for zonal shear flows, and branches of solutions are computed to first-order in E. The results quantify the breakdown of quasi-geostrophy and the asymmetry between cyclonic and anticyclonic structures. In addition, the O(?)-correction is computed for a model of the zonally-averaged winds in Jupiter's weather layer.
