The flow generated in a continuously stratified rotating fluid by the differential rotation of a plane horizontal disc

Results are presented from a modelling investigation into the response of a rotating, linearly stratified fluid to local forcing induced by a differentially rotating smooth, horizontal disc. Attention was directed at cases in which the disc forcing is relatively strong, with Rossby number ε = ω/2Ω o...
