This work involves theoretical and numerical analysis of the Thermal Quasi-Geostrophic (TQG) model of submesoscale geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD). Physically, the TQG model involves thermal geostrophic balance, in which the Rossby number, the Froude number and the stratification parameter are all of the same asymptotic order. The main analytical contribution of this paper is to construct local-in-time unique strong solutions for the TQG model. For this, we show that solutions of its regularized version $alpha$-TQG converge to solutions of TQG as its smoothing parameter $alpha rightarrow 0$ and we obtain blowup criteria for the $alpha$-TQG model. The main contribution of the computational analysis is to verify the rate of convergence of $alpha$-TQG solutions to TQG solutions as $alpha rightarrow 0$ for example simulations in appropriate GFD regimes.

Consider the surface quasi-geostrophic equation with random diffusion, white in time. We show global existence and uniqueness in high probability for the associated Cauchy problem satisfying a Gevrey type bound. This article is inspired by recent work of Glatt-Holtz and Vicol.
We establish a regularity criterion for weak solutions of the dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations in mixed time-space Besov spaces.
For the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation $$left{ begin{aligned} & partial_t theta+ucdot abla theta=0, quad text{in } mathbb{R}^2 times (0,T), & u= abla^perp psi, quad psi = (-Delta)^{-s}theta quad text{in } mathbb{R}^2 times (0,T) , e
nd{aligned} right. $$ $0<s<1$, we consider for $kge1$ the problem of finding a family of $k$-vortex solutions $theta_varepsilon(x,t)$ such that as $varepsilonto 0$ $$ theta_varepsilon(x,t) rightharpoonup sum_{j=1}^k m_jdelta(x-xi_j(t)) $$ for suitable trajectories for the vortices $x=xi_j(t)$. We find such solutions in the special cases of vortices travelling with constant speed along one axis or rotating with same speed around the origin. In those cases the problem is reduced to a fractional elliptic equation which is treated with singular perturbation methods. A key element in our construction is a proof of the non-degeneracy of the radial ground state for the so-called fractional plasma problem $$(-Delta)^sW = (W-1)^gamma_+, quad text{in } mathbb{R}^2, quad 1<gamma < frac{1+s}{1-s}$$ whose existence and uniqueness have recently been proven in cite{chan_uniqueness_2020}.
We are concerned with the existence of periodic travelling-wave solutions for the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (gSQG) equation(including incompressible Euler equation), known as von Karman vortex street. These solutions are of $C^1$ type, an
d are obtained by studying a semilinear problem on an infinite strip whose width equals to the period. By a variational characterization of solutions, we also show the relationship between vortex size, travelling speed and street structure. In particular, the vortices with positive and negative intensity have equal or unequal scaling size in our construction, which constitutes the regularization for Karman point vortex street.
The classical approach for studying atmospheric variability is based on defining a background state and studying the linear stability of the small fluctuations around such a state. Weakly non-linear theories can be constructed using higher order expa
nsions terms. While these methods have undoubtedly great value for elucidating the relevant physical processes, they are unable to follow the dynamics of a turbulent atmosphere. We provide a first example of extension of the classical stability analysis to a non-linearly evolving quasi-geostrophic flow. The so-called covariant Lyapunov vectors (CLVs) provide a covariant basis describing the directions of exponential expansion and decay of perturbations to the non-linear trajectory of the flow. We use such a formalism to re-examine the basic barotropic and baroclinic processes of the atmosphere with a quasi-geostrophic beta-plane two-layer model in a periodic channel driven by a forced meridional temperature gradient $Delta T$. We explore three settings of $Delta T$, representative of relatively weak turbulence, well-developed turbulence, and intermediate conditions. We construct the Lorenz energy cycle for each CLV describing the energy exchanges with the background state. A positive baroclinic conversion rate is a necessary but not sufficient condition of instability. Barotropic instability is present only for few very unstable CLVs for large values of $Delta T$. Slowly growing and decaying hydrodynamic Lyapunov modes closely mirror the properties of the background flow. Following classical necessary conditions for barotropic/baroclinic instability, we find a clear relationship between the properties of the eddy fluxes of a CLV and its instability. CLVs with positive baroclinic conversion seem to form a set of modes for constructing a reduced model of the atmosphere dynamics.
