本文对两层流体中产生的斜压涡进行了实验研究。在建立了实验和加热环空实验之间的等价性之后，论证了层结的势能是波状不稳定的来源，这种不稳定发展并将涡旋分裂成独立的、明显的环流。研究了声速中尺度海洋涡旋的稳定性。
Abstract An experimental study is made of a baroclinic vortex produced in a two-layer fluid. After the equivalence between the experiment and the heated annulus experiment of Hide is established, it is argued that the Potential energy of the stratification is the source for wave-like instabilities which develop and split the vortex into separate, distinct circulations. The stability of sonic mesoscale oceanic vortices is examined.
