On the Shear Flow Instability in the β-Plane
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this chapter, the stability of a parallel zonal flow of an incompressible, inviscid fluid in the β-plane has been critically examined
for non-oscillatory modes. Necessary condition for instability and the condition for the temporal growth rate ni of unstable modes have been obtained. Other important results include the temporal growth rate for unstable modes, condition for the non-existence for non-oscillatory modes and necessary condition for the existence of non-oscillatory unstable modes.
