Once ζ is given as a known, one needs to get the unknown ψ with proper boundary conditions, which is essentially an inversion problem (Figure 1). Many geophysical fluid dynamical (GFD) problems can be described by such a balanced model, which is generally of second (or fourth) order in spatial derivatives and does not depend explicitly on time. Therefore, it is also known as a steady-state model. Early scientists tried to find analytical solutions by simplifying the parameters of these models (e.g., assuming constant coefficients). Nowadays, with the new developments in numerical algorithms and parallel-computing programming, one may need a modern solver, written in a popular programming language like Python, to invert all these models in a numerical fashion. More specifically, the following needs should be satisfied:
