A series solution approach to the forced and damped quasi-geostrophic barotropic vorticity equation is considered in order to examine the stronglyforced and inertial limits of ocean gyre dynamics. The strongly forced limit is the limit investigated numerically by Veronis (ref. 1966b). It is shown that this limit, although superficially having the same symmetry properties as the inertial limit, is distinguishably different from the latter. After isolating the inertial limit in an appropriate way it is shown that our series solution method is able to find the "free mode" and its "almost free correction" that the "free mode" obeys the integral criteria of Niiler (ref. 1966) and Pierrehumbert && Malguzzi (ref. 1984) and that the relationship between the streamfunction and the absolute vorticity is in general a nonlinear one.
