Abstract

The accuracy of a numerical technique devised for the purpose of obtaining approximate solutions to an initial value problem defined by linearized equations for quasi-geostrophic flow is tested in certain simple cases for which it is possible to obtain closed solutions. The numerical technique is found to be extremely accurate.
