摘要
The general property of zonally symmetric stability of quasi-homogeneous and incompressible rotating ocean can be determined by a nondimensional parameter R. which is similar to the Richardson number in Howard's paper. The results indicate that the rotating effect leads to stabilize the basic flows and the horizontal shear effect leads to destabilize the basic flows.In addition, the most unstable growth rate is obtained and,the semicircle and semiellipse theorem about the distributions of the unstable phase velocity are given in this paper.
