Abstract:

Analysis is given on the inviscid limit of the disturbance equations of linear stability theory of parallel flows or of linear barotropic instability equations of zonal flows of atmosphere. Existence is shown of the generators of inviscid limit dynamics. Some of the properties of generators are discussed in the context of the (Rossby) wave scattering in geophysical cases.
