Abstract
A heavy uniform fluid is superposed on a lighter one. The two uniform fluids are separated by a layer of transition of finite thickness in which the density increases exponentially in the vertical direction. The growth rate and the wavenumber of the mode of maximum instability are obtained when the whole system rotates uniformly about a vertical axis.Keywords
