Tidal theory with Newtonian cooling

  • Published:
pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Processes representable by Newtonian cooling models are found to be of importance for tides in various planetary atmospheres. The equations of tidal theory are, therefore, rederived to include a rather general Newtonian cooling, and some of the effects of this inclusion are investigated.
