Consider an isothermal atmosphere at rest.
(a) Using hydrostatic balance, show that pressure p and potential temperature
are respectively given by
P = Poe

RTo/g and
where the isothermal and isentropic scale heights are given by H =
cpTo/g and To is the temperature. How is o related to po and To?
(b) Show that the Brunt-Vaisala frequency squared N² = g/H、 for an isothermal
H₂
atmosphere.
