Horizontal Equation of motion in Pressure Co-ordinate:

The component form of horizontal equations of motions are given by:

∂u ∂u ∂u ∂u 1 ∂p
+u +v +w =− + fv + Fx
∂t ∂x ∂y ∂z ρ ∂x
∂v ∂v ∂v ∂v 1 ∂p
+u +v +w = − − fu + Fy
∂t ∂x ∂y ∂z ρ ∂y

It has already shown that,

∂ ∂ ∂z ∂
( − ) z = ( −) φ − ( ) φ (−) Where s= x or y
∂s ∂s ∂s ∂z
∂ ∂ ∂ ∂z
Now (−) φ = (−) z + (−)( ) φ
∂z ∂t ∂z ∂t
Let us put φ = p , then we have,
∂ ∂ ∂z ∂
( −) z = ( − ) p − ( ) p ( − )
∂t ∂t ∂t ∂z
∂ ∂ ∂z ∂
u ( −) z = u ( − ) p − u ( ) p ( −)
∂x ∂x ∂x ∂z
∂ ∂ ∂z ∂
v ( −) z = u ( −) p − v ( ) p ( −)
∂y ∂y ∂y ∂z
dz ∂z ∂z ∂z ∂z
and w = = ( +u + v )p + w
dt ∂t ∂x ∂y ∂p
∂ ∂z ∂z ∂z ∂ ∂z ∂ dp
Therefore, w (−) = ( + u + v ) p (−) + w . ( −) Where, ω= .
∂z ∂t ∂x ∂y p ∂z ∂p ∂z dt
∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂
Hence ( + u + v ) z ( −) + w (−) = ( + u + v ) p (−) + ω ( −).
∂t ∂x ∂y ∂z ∂t ∂x ∂y ∂p
And already we have seen that,
1 ∂p ∂z
- ( ) z = −g( ) p &
ρ ∂x ∂x
1 ∂p ∂z
- ( ) z = −g( ) p
ρ ∂y ∂y
Hence the horizontal equation of motion in pressure co-ordinate may be written as,
∂u ∂u ∂u ∂u ∂z
( +u + v )p + w = − g ( ) p + fv + Fx
∂t ∂x ∂y ∂p ∂x
∂v ∂v ∂v ∂v ∂z
( +u + v )p + w = − g ( ) p − fu + Fy .
∂t ∂x ∂y ∂p ∂y
