contents This paper outlines the study of the curvature of the quantomorphism group and its central extension, as well as the quasi-geostrophic equation. By utilizing spherical harmonics and structure constants, a formula for computing the curvature of the $L^2$ metric on the central extension $\hat{\cg}=\cg\ltimes_Ω\mathbb{R}$ is derived, where $\cg$ represents the Lie algebra of $\cD^s_μ(\mathbb{S}^2)$. The sectional curvatures of the planes containing $Y_{10}$ and the tradewind current are calculated as special cases. The impact of the Rossby and Froude numbers, as well as the Coriolis effect, on the (exponential) stability of these quasi-geostrophic motions is highlighted. Finally, a lower bound for weather prediction error in a simplified model governed by the tradewind current and the Coriolis effect on a rotating sphere is suggested.
