A generalized wave-vortex decomposition for rotating Boussinesq flows with arbitrary stratification

Jeffrey J. Early, M. Pascale Lelong, Miles A. Sundermeyer

The linear wave and geostrophic (vortex) solutions are shown to be a complete basis for physical variables $(u,v,w,\rho )$ in a rotating non-hydrostatic Boussinesq model with arbitrary…
