Abstract
Analytical solutions of the steady Euler equations on a non-rotating sphere representing stationary multipolar vortices with annular patches of uniform vorticity are constructed. The results are derived by applying a stereographic projection of the surface of the sphere onto the complex plane and then using conformal mapping. They generalise known solutions representing simply connected patches on the sphere and annular patches in the plane.
