Abstract

In a non-adiabatic, viscous, atmosphere, a finite number of lower (large-scale) modes of motion determines all the remaining modes, since the higher (small-scale) modes are strongly damped due to frictional force and dissipation function and only replicate with decreased amplitude the fundamental modes of oscillation (in particular, they have the same kind of spectrum).
