Approximations in the use of pressure coordinates

Pages 26-31 | Received 25 Sep 1963, Published online: 15 Dec 2016
 

Abstract

Approximations in the use of any scalar dependent variable as a vertical coordinate in Dynamic Meteorology are derived. A connection with the barotropic approximation is made for the case of a pressure coordinate system where the dependent variable is pressure.
