Potential Vorticity Surfaces

Potential Vorticity Surfaces is a theoretical construct in atmospheric and oceanic dynamics that denotes a family of two-dimensional manifolds in three-dimensional space where the potential vorticity, a conserved fluid dynamical quantity under adiabatic and frictionless flow, remains invariant, thereby serving as a framework for diagnosing large-scale fluid motion and material transport.
