Abstract

The behavior of a viscous incompressible fluid on a rotating sphere is described by the nonlinear barotropic vorticity equation (BVE). Conditions for the existence of a bounded set that attracts all BVE solutions are given. In addition, sufficient conditions are obtained for a BVE solution to be a global attractor. It is shown that, in contrast to the stationary forcing, the dimension of the global BVE attractor under quasiperiodic forcing is not limited from above by the generalized Grashof number.
