Abstract
A baroclinic model programmed for numerical solution is used to investigate
the effects of diabatic heating on the development of pressure
waves for periods up to 24 hours. Several forms of the model are studied
with results being obtained for various wavelengths. The results lead to
some meteorological improbabilities; however, the relative development of
the pressure wave appears valid for short time periods.
The writer wishes to express her appreciation to Professor George
Haltiner of the U. S. Naval Postgraduate School for his assistance and
guidance in this investigation. Appreciation is also expressed to LT
Jack Nourie, USN, for his assistance in preparing diagrams and compiling
data.
