Abstract
The use of central differences on a rectangular net, in solving the primitive or vorticity equations, produces solutions on each of two lattices. By exploring this lattice structure, a formal equivalence is established between the central-difference vorticity and primitive equations. A demonstration is given also that exponential instability previously found to result from certain types of boundary conditions is suppressed by applying these conditions in such a way as to avoid coupling the lattices.
