Abstract
Necessary conditions are derived for a spherical vortex in a perfect fluid to be stationary in the case when the velocities depend on a single surface harmonic. The motion is indeterminate unless an additional condition is imposed. In the case when this condition is incompressibility, the equations are solved, yielding a class of stationary spherical vortices.Keywords
