We use contour dynamics to derive equations of motion for infinite planar surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) fronts, and show that it leads to the same result as a regularization procedure introduced previously by Hunter and Shu (2018).
We demonstrate that the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation given by $$\theta_t + \left<u, \nabla \theta\right>= 0,\;\;\; \theta = \nabla \times (-\Delta)^{-1/2} u,$$ is the geodesic equation on the group of volume-preserving…
