Abstract: A simple class of barotropic Rossby waves are shown to propagate westward as the graphically balanced meridional windfield periodically reverses in response to a small meridional pressure gradient arising from the latitudinal ...

Abstract: A new diagnostic equation is presented which exhibits many advantages over the conventional forms of the anelastic continuity equation. Scale analysis suggests that use of this ?pseudo-incompressible equation? is justified ...

Abstract: Expressions are derived for the local pseudomomentum density in two-dimensional compressible stratified flow and are compared with the expressions for pseudomomentum in two-dimensional Boussinesq and anelastic flow derived ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations are examined in order to determine the local mean flow response to the generation, propagation, and breakdown of two-dimensional mountain waves. Realistic and idealized cases are considered, and in ...

Abstract: It is demonstrated that the inertial oscillation is not produced exclusively by ?inertial forces?, and that the inertial oscillation appears as oscillatory motion even when viewed from a nonrotating frame of reference. The ...
