As R -*0> 0=1, U T = u , V T ~ u , then the solutions iaay be reduced to
the classical Ekman flow as
^ ^ ^ -vj -- ,*
u = u - u e cos q - v e'sinn,

T = / vl- v;e cos q -IT e'sintj (33)
The detail discussion of the solution aay be found in Wu (1989).
EL VERTICAL MOTION AT THE TOP OF 'BOUNDARY LAYER
Chen (1979) pointed out that for large scale motion, the
continuity equation in a coordinate can be simplified as follows
according to scale analysis
_C3f * _/r

Using i\ instead of a, then nondimensionai equation reads
V p V + - (p a>= 0 . (34)
