P2

u = 1.3 m/s V = -1.3 m/s v = 1.8 m/s u=-1.7 m/s The eddy shown above is located at 54°N. It is 80 km across (in both the x and y directions), and the total water depth is 4 km. (A) The planetary vorticity of this eddy is: (B) The relative vorticity of this eddy is: | s-1. (C) Is this cyclonic or anticyclonic? (D) The potential vorticity for this eddy is: m-ls-1. (E) If the eddy moves south to 31°N and the depth stays constant, what is the potential vorticity at this latitude? m-ls1. (F) What is the relative vorticity? (G) Has the eddy changed speed and/or direction?
