Recent studies have shown differences in the behaviour of cyclonic and anticyclonic quasi-two-dimensional vortices in laboratory experiments in a rotating fluid. In this paper, the role of dissipative effects due to bottom topography is investigated as a possible cause for the asymmetry in the spin-

## Abstract Geographical distribution across the Southern Hemisphere of 15βyear averages (23βyear averages in the Australian Region) of monthly anticyclonicity and cyclonicity as well as monthly anticyclone and cyclone immobility times, for the months of January, April, July and October for the yea
Numerical simulations of the collision between deep topographically-steered anticyclonic eddies and seamounts are described. The simulations are based on a two-layer intermediate length-scale model which filters out barotropic processes and focuses on the sub-inertial baroclinic dynamics within the
