Abstract
A discussion of the initial value problem for the beroclinic model of Eady is presented. The completeness of the eigen-solutions is discussed. It is shown that a continuous spectrum of waves is required to supplement the normal mode solutions in order to represent the evolution of an arbitrary disturbance, but that the stability properties of the flow are properly described by the normal mode solutions.
