A preliminary estimate of inertia effects in a bulk model of katabatic wind

Observed sastrugi orientations showed considerable deviation from a bulk theory of katabatic wind in lee sides of troughs in ice sheet undulations of which the wavelength is about 400km on the Mizuho Plateau, East Antarctica. The effect of the inertia term which may account for the deviations but is...
