摘要
The mesoscale (or synoptic) midlatitude case of oceans or part of the ocean of about a few hundred kms long in the north-south and east-west directions is analyzed. The objective is to represent a small step in this direction as follows: to introduce systematically the geostrophic asymmptotics for the mesoscale ocean and to conduct the mathematical analysis of the resulting quasi-geostrophic (QG) equations and the asymptotics.
