Assuming three-dimensional stratified geostrophic vortices of finite volume and potential vorticity of arbitrary vertical structure but piecewise-constant distribution in the horizontal direction, we derive equations for the velocity field in terms of surface integrals over the boundary of the vorte
## Abstract Stratified flows in hydrostatic balance are studied in both their multilayer and continuous formulations. A novel stability criterion is proposed for stratified flows, which reinterprets stability in terms not of growth of small perturbations but of the wellβposedness of the time evolut
