On the dynamics of revolving fluids

Abstract So much of meteorology depends ultimately upon the dynamics of revolving fluid that it is desirable to formulate as clearly as possible such simple conclusions as are within our reach, in the hope that they may assist our judgment when an exact analysis seems impracticable. An important contribution to this subject is that recently published by Dr. Aitken. It formed the starting point of part of the investigation which follows, but I ought perhaps to add that I do not share Dr. Aitken’s views in all respects. His paper should be studied by all interested in these questions. As regards the present contribution to the theory it may be well to premise that the limitation to symmetry round an axis is imposed throughout.
