Abstract: The structure of the steady transverse circulation of a rotating stratified fluid on an f plane is analyzed in two stages. First, a length scale analysis is performed, giving the relationships between the vertical and ...

Abstract: The relationships between vertical and horizontal length scales in a rotating stratified fluid on the beta plane are discussed in an attempt to unify the results of previous papers. The model is steady, linear and Boussinesq, ...

Abstract: The generation and deflection of winds by topography are considered in an effort to understand the general circulation of the Martian atmosphere. The low radiative time constant and large topographical variations associated ...

Abstract: The effects of a sloping lower boundary on the quasi-geostrophic baroclinic instability model of Eady are considered. Although the analytical model is too simplified for direct application to Martian conditions, the results ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional model of the Martian planetary boundary layer over sloping terrain is analyzed under a variety of conditions. Analytical results for the steady and diurnal components of the temperature and wind fields ...
