SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on deriving general expressions from the geopotential equation of a wave in a westerly flow. Participants emphasize the importance of using derivatives with respect to variables such as y, x, and t to achieve the desired results. The use of LaTeX for posting equations is strongly recommended to enhance clarity and facilitate understanding. Additionally, the thread was moved to the calculus schoolwork forum to attract more relevant responses.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of geopotential equations in fluid dynamics
- Proficiency in calculus, specifically differentiation
- Familiarity with LaTeX for formatting mathematical expressions
- Knowledge of wave dynamics in meteorological contexts
- Study the application of derivatives in fluid dynamics
- Learn how to effectively use LaTeX for mathematical documentation
- Research the implications of geopotential in atmospheric science
- Explore advanced calculus techniques relevant to wave equations
Students and researchers in meteorology, physicists focusing on fluid dynamics, and anyone interested in the mathematical modeling of wave phenomena.

Per the PF rules (see INFO at the top of the page), schoolwork type threads usually need to go in the Homework Help forums, and you need to show your best efforts to start working the problem. The one exception to that rule is if the problem is advanced enough and if you show lots of work in your opening post, those threads can sometimes be left in the technical forums.
Can you show your work to start on this problem? It is best if you look over the LaTeX Guide link in the lower left of the Edit window, so that you can post the equations in a legible forum to show your work. Thank you.

Thanks for the response, I started the problem to try to get it match what zeta is asking for. However, trying to derive the initial equation by d/dy d/dx or d/dt gets me nowhere close to what I want.

I tried to add a screenshot of your hand-written work, but it didn't come out so well. You really need to learn to use LaTeX to post your work on internet forums (and for publications later, if you go that route).Zythryn said:
I'll go ahead and move this thread to the calculus schoolwork forum, to hopefully get you better views than in the Earth forum.

Also, can you please post the "Relevant Equations" to define some of the quantities that we probably are not familiar with in this area of science? Thanks.
