Abstract: We investigate the special case of an inviscid axisymmetric vortex rotating steadily in an atmosphere having an adiabatic lapse rate. We show that the analytic solution of the governing equations depends on the source strength of the vortex. The technique used is based largely on an unpublished report of Lilly [1].
