= Stratified incompressible shearing sheet

The stratified incompressible shearing sheet adds a buoyancy displacement $\theta$ with $D\theta/Dt=u_z$ and acceleration $-N^2\theta\mathbf e_z$. Axisymmetric plane waves obey
$$
\omega^2=\frac{k_z^2\Omega^2+k_x^2N^2}{k_x^2+k_z^2},
$$
interpolating between inertial and buoyancy oscillations.
