With downward buoyancy b=gρ′/ρ0​ in a uniform rotating Boussinesq approximation, q=ζ−fbz​/N2 is time-independent. The linear pressure obeys ∇2ptt​+f2pzz​+N2∇H2​p=ρ0​fN2q. The initial potential vorticity supplies the steady pressure source; nonzero-frequency inertia-gravity waves have zero perturbation PV.
