Abstract

This paper reviews some aspects of topography effects on the dynamics of barotropic monopolar, dipolar and tripolar vortices in a rotating fluid. It is shown that the modulated point-vortex model (essentially based on conservation of potential vorticity) is capable of describing the flow evolution correctly, as can be concluded from comparisons with numerical simulations and laboratory observations.
