title: FRICTIONALLY DECAYING FRONTAL WARM-CORE EDDIES
abstract: Purpose. The dynamics of nonstationary, nonlinear, axisymmetric, warm-core geophysical surface frontal vortices affected by Rayleigh friction is investigated semi-analytically using the nonlinear, nonstationary reduced-gravity shallow-water equations. The scope is to enlarge the number of known (semi)analytical solutions of nonstationary, nonlinear problems referring to geophysical problems and even to pave the way to their extension to broader geometries and/or velocity fields.
