Abstract

In this paper, we study the linear metastability for the linearized 2D dissipative surface quasi-geostrophic equation with small viscosity ν around the quasi-steady state Θ sin= - e-νtsin y. We proved the linear enhanced dissipation and obtained the dissipation rate. Moreover, the new non-local enhancement phenomenon was discovered and discussed. Precisely we showed that the non-local term cosy∂x(-Δ)-12θ re-enhances the enhanced diffusion effect by the shear-diffusion mechanism.
