| Abstract | The rotation of the planet, the stratification of density, and the generation of friction all play important roles in the motion of geophysical fluids. These mechanisms are always present in our ocean and atmosphere, as well as that of other planets. They are collectively responsible for many well-known phenomena that we observe in nature, e.g., jet streams, zonal jets, the El Niño cycle, and Jupiter's Great Red Spot, to name only a few. These mechanisms typically serve to constrain the motion o |
