Quasi-geostrophic equations
If the Rossby number is equal to zero then we recover geostrophic flow.
The quasi-geostrophic equations were first formulated by Jule Charney. The quasi-geostrophic vorticity equation can be obtained from the and components of the quasi-geostrophic momentum equation which can then be derived
