A general linearised ‘shallow-layer ’ perturbation model, where the approximately neutral lower layer of thick-ness is situated below a stable upper layer or inversion layer, is developed for idealised and steady, but typical, mesoscale atmospheric flows. Significant Coriolis effects and variations...
