Barotropic Dynamics

Barotropic Dynamics is a theoretical framework in geophysical fluid dynamics that describes the large-scale motion of fluids in which density depends only on pressure, leading to depth-independent horizontal flow driven by gradients in the free surface and modulated by the Coriolis effect.
