Models for instability in geophysical flows

The generation of instability in inviscid, non-diffusive geophysical flows is generically caused by a resonance between two wave modes. The weakly nonlinear unfolding of this situation is described in the long-wave regime, using a particular two-layer quasi-geostrophic model as an illustrative examp...
