Dissipative Quasigeostrophic Motion under Temporally Almost Periodic Forcing

Abstract

The full nonlinear dissipative quasigeostrophic model is shown to have a unique temporally almost periodic solution when the wind forcing is temporally almost periodic under suitable constraints on the spatial square-integral of the wind forcing and the $β$ parameter, Ekman number, viscosity and the domain size. The proof involves the pullback attractor for the associated nonautonomous dynamical system.
