Holton and Hakim's derivation (Section 7.2) of a baroclinic unstable wave contains the following term in a complicated phase speed equation. Since this term does not include the Beta effect, this relates to the shortwave cutoff. Compute the shortwave cutoff based on the highlighted yellow equation, given the numbers given below. с cx < (||500 - 11000) √k² - 2M² in which k = 2 and M² = (+)² RT de p0 dp = 1.45 x 10-6 mº N²s2 Assume f. = 10-4s¹, Ap = 50000 Pa - 100000 Pa = -50000 Pa; o = is the static stability of the reference atmosphere.
