From Horizontal to Vertical Vortex under the Reign of Coriolis' Force

[摘要] The wave theory in cyclogenesis adopted in polar front theory is based on the theory of gravitational waves generated along a discontinuous surface separating two air masses of different constituent. The wave motion thus generated develops into the vortical motion and takes the nasent stage of a cyclone.The vortical motion in such a scheme however means that of a horizoutal vortex, thus the transformation is necessary from a horizontal to a vertical vortex under some agency. The norwegian school ascribes it to coriolis' force and S. Fujiwhara to the kinematical characteristic of vortex itself.The author replaced a horizontal vortex by a cellular vortex and mathematically proved such a transformation as supposed by the norwegian school.
