Abstract
Within the framework of a quasi-geostrophic model, the influence of different kinds of vertical profiles of diabatic heating on a stationary harmonic of the atmosphere is studied. Except in the cases in which there is a diabatic heating reversal in the upper layers of the atmosphere, the results show qualitative similarity, especially in phase. This lends support to the somewhat arbitrarily selected vertical profiles of diabatic heating used in many previous studies. 1.
