Abstract

In this paper we construct families of real analytic solutions of the Surface Quasi-Geostrophic equation (SQG) that are locally constant outside a thin neighborhood of a curve of arbitrarily small thickness. Despite the fact that only local existence results are known for SQG, and that our initial conditions have a arbitrarily large gradient we show that solutions exist for a time independent of the thickness of the neighborhood.
