Abstract
One of the main difficulties encountered in dynamic meteorology is the construction of differential equations which describe the atmospheric processes under investigation. But even when this obstacle has been overcome, we have not progressed very far because these equations are so complex that they cannot be solved without a preliminary simplification. There is no universal prescription for this purpose. In each particular case, a special analysis is needed for choosing the most appropriate method of simplification. That is why it seems necessary to have some actual information about the atmospheric processes under investigation at the very beginning of a theoretical study.
