Abstract

The effect of radiative transfer on thermal stability when a Coriolis force is also acting has been examined. Two asymptotic approximations of the radiative transfer equation have been used to study the stability problem in detail. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of the principle of exchange of stabilities are also obtained.
