Abstract
The dynamics of large eddies in the atmosphere and oceans is described by the surface quasi-geostrophic equation, which is reminiscent of th e Euler equations, Thermal fronts build up rapidly. Two different nume rical methods combined with analytical criteria an used to show there are no singularities in finite time. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Sc ience B.V.
