For the n=1, m=1 Hermite vertical mode of an isothermal disk, the local dispersion relation is [(ω−ΩK​)2−ΩK2​]2=k2cs2​(ω−ΩK​)2. Its low inertial-frame frequency branches satisfy ω≃±kcs​/2. These waves transport a changing tilt of successive annuli, or a warp, with group velocity ±cs​/2. The vertical velocity is approximately independent of height. A rigid tilt is the zero-wavenumber, zero-pattern-frequency limit; the gas still executes vertical orbital motion at frequency ΩK​ in its rotating frame.
