Abstract
After the derivation of the basic equations of atmospheric dynamics (for dry air) in the two previous chapters, we here first discuss elementary properties, among these energy and angular-momentum conservation. Then the reasonable approximation of the primitive equations is introduced. Within this framework we finally consider simple balanced-flow configurations.
