摘要
In this paper we derive the Sverdrup relation by means of an asymptotic analysis on the one layer stationary quasigeostrophic equation arising in geophysics. Since this equation is of the 4-th order, we have to ascribe one more boundary condition to close the model. The influence of the choice of this extra boundary condition on the derivation of the Sverdrup relation is also analyzed. The boundary conditions that considered here are those given by J. Pedlosky in [14].
