Abstract

The adiabatic assumption that the vertical velocity can be estimated from the displacement of isotherms is examined for solitary wave events propagating in the stable boundary layer overlying an Antarctic ice shelf. Implications for the mathematical modelling of such waves when this assumption is invalid are discussed. Copyright © 2003 Royal Meteorological Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
