QG breakdown: (ζ_QG/f)(Ro=1) = 1

Layer 1 — Physicsin the geophysical-fluid-dynamics subtree

Sympy-exact witness of the quasi-geostrophic breakdown anchor. Setup: ζ_QG/f = Ro as a one-symbol identity (the canonical QG scaling relation). Identity: at Ro = 1, ζ_QG/f = 1 — relative vorticity equal in magnitude to planetary…
