Abstract
Barotropic geostrophic flows are investigated using rectangular and polar coordinate systems. It is shown that, for the analysis of geostrophic flows with radial symmetry, the use of a polar coordinate system is preferable. Relations between the hydrodynamic characteristics, including the expressions of the fluid particle velocity components and vorticity through pressure, are obtained. It is established that, in the case of stationary barotropic flows, isobaths coincide with current lines. Stationary radially symmetric geostrophic flows are considered.
