Abstract
A simple but general upper bound is given for the flux of a reduced-gr avity fluid with non-negative, but otherwise arbitrary, potential vort icity through a sill of arbitrary shape. This bound is a modified form of the zero potential vorticity limit. A weaker bound is given for th e flux in any layer of an (n + 1/2) layer fluid.
