Abstract
An improved upper bound is given for the growth rate of an unstable disturbance in a gravitationally stratified compressible shear flow, with heat conduction and viscous effects neglected. It is also shown that such a growth rate depends essentially on the characteristics of the flow in the neighborhood of the critical layer.Keywords
