N2

$N^2(z)$, squared buoyancy frequency of the no-motion density, $N^2\equiv -\frac{g}{{\rho }_0}\frac{\partial {\rho }_{\text{nm}}}{\partial z}$

---

Description

Real valued property with dimension $z$ and units of $ra{d}^2{s}^{-2}$.

Discussion

The buoyancy frequency $N^2$ is defined as $N^2\equiv -\frac{g}{{\rho }_0}\frac{\partial {\rho }_{\text{nm}}}{\partial z}$.
