Rayleigh–Kuo criterion
text:
The Rayleigh–Kuo criterion is a stability condition for a fluid. This criterion determines whether or not a barotropic instability can occur, leading to the presence of vortices. The Kuo criterion states that for barotropic instability to occur, the gradient of the absolute vorticity must change its sign at some point within the boundaries of the current. Note that this criterion is a necessary condition, so if it does not hold it is not possible for a barotropic instability to form. But it is n
