N2

\(N^2(z)\), squared buoyancy frequency of the no-motion density, \(N^2\equiv - \frac{g}{\rho_0} \frac{\partial \rho_\textrm{nm}}{\partial z}\)

---

Description

Real valued property with dimension \(z\) and units of \(rad^2 s^{-2}\).

Discussion

The buoyancy frequency \(N^2\) is defined as \(N^2\equiv - \frac{g}{\rho_0} \frac{\partial \rho_\textrm{nm}}{\partial z}\).
