This paper presents a first rigorous study of the so-called large-scale semigeostrophic equations which were first introduced by R. Salmon in 1985 and later generalized by the first author. We show that these models are Hamiltonian on the group of $H^s$ diffeomorphisms for $s>2$. Notably, in the Hamiltonian setting an apparent topological restriction on the Coriolis parameter disappears. We then derive the corresponding Hamiltonian formulation in Eulerian variables via Poisson reduction and give a simple argument for the existence of $H^s$ solutions locally in time.

Keywords: balance models, Semigeostrophic equations, rotating shallow water, Poisson reduction., diffeomorphism group.
