- Аннотация: We show that an arbitrarily oriented ellipsoid of uniform potential vorticity, embedded in a background flow described by a quadratic streamfunction, is an exact solution of the quasigeostrophic equations governing motion in a uniformly stratified, unbounded fluid. This type of flow includes plane horizontal shear and strain as well as uniform vertical shear of a unidirectional horizontal flow. We derive ordinary differential equations describing the motion of such a vortex and discuss some aspects of their solutions. We note the existence of steady states (solutions in which the vortex is in equilibrium with the background flow), of periodic solutions near these steady states, of non-periodic trajectories which nervertheless remain in the vicinity of the steady states, and of solutions which represent the shearing out of the vortex by the background flow. We try to use this information to propose partial answers to the question of when a given horizontal or vertical shear flow is likely to destroy a vortex and when a vortex might survive external shear and strain.
