Estimation of the Helicity of Atmospheric Disturbances Caused by Inhomogeneities in the Gravity Field

The helicity of atmospheric disturbances caused by inhomogeneities in the gravity field has been estimated theoretically. This estimation was carried out with the use of a three-dimensional stationary analytical model of linear disturbances induced by spatial inhomogeneities of the gravity field into a background geostrophic flow of a stratified rotating medium (atmosphere). It has been concluded based on the solution found that the amplitude of the helicity of emerging disturbances can be noticeable in highly anomalous regions.
