A
  • uniform settling: only vertical displacement
  • step 1: find the BCs (either for u or sigma)

3) perturb the steady state solution slightly (ex. p=p0 + Delta(p))
4) sub perturbed solutions into the Euler eqns
5) linearize (should end up with the two Euler eqns for perturbations now)
6) combine the two eqns together somehow (take derivative and sub in or smth)
7) make any last assumptions (ex. Barotropic lol)
8) tada!
