Abstract

Expressions are derived for the Brunt-Vaisala frequency Nm, in a saturated atmosphere, which are analogous to commonly-used formulas for the dry Brunt-Vaisala frequency. These formulas are compared with others which have appeared in the literature, and the derivation by Lalas and Einaudi (1974) is found to be correct. - from Authors
