Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of stochastic structure formation in random hydrodynamic flows. In particular, starting from an analysis of the steady-state probability density, it considers coherent structures of vortex formation (vortex genesis) in stochastic quasi-geostrophic flows, which are related to rotation and random topography of the bottom.
