Summary edit
| Description | Schematic illustration of the beta gyres in translating coordinates showing the self-advection with homogeneous asymmetric potential vorticity (PV) in the vortex core, surrounded by a region with Rossby-wave balance between radial and tangential PV advection, which is in turn surrounded by a free potential vortex region where the asymmetric PV induces flow outside the vortex. The asymmetry illustrated is a normal mode of the vortex. |

This meteorology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Beta Gyre.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
