The paper concerns viscous perturbations of quasilinear singular hyperbolic systems in several space dimensions, the viscosity \(\mu\) being allowed (at worst) to be of the order of \(\varepsilon^2\), where \(\varepsilon\) is the singular parameter -- the equations involving terms in \(\varepsilon^{-1}\) and \(\varepsilon^{-2}\). The rather complicated abstract form of the equations under consideration is shown to be applicable to large-scale motion in the atmosphere (geostrophic approximation), and to a more theoretical problem (non-linear geometrical optics). Under various structural and stability assumptions, the author proves the existence of smooth solutions on a time interval \([0,T]\) independent of \(\varepsilon\), which compare with some reference solutions by an \({\mathcal O}(\varepsilon^2)\) estimate in \({\mathcal C}(0,T;H^s({\mathbb T} \times {\mathbb R}^d))\), \(s>(d+3)/2\). One of the major difficulties is that the linearized equations involve a non-skewsymmetric operator \(\varepsilon^{-1} B\), as in the earlier work by the author together with \textit{O. Guès} and \textit{G. Métivier} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér., IV. Sér. 36, No. 5, 691--745 (2003; Zbl 1091.35039)], where they addressed the inviscid case and exhibited exponentially growing instabilities of the form \(e^{ \gamma t/\varepsilon}\) (\(\gamma>0\)). Here the (small) viscosity makes the situation better.
