| Abstract: | Marginal instabilities in a horizontal unstably stratified rapidly rotating fluid layer permeated by an azimuthal magnetic field growing linearly with distance from the vertical rotation axis, are investigated in dependence on electromagnetic boundary conditions and Roberts number
. Electrical conductivities of perfectly thermally conducting boundaries are either infinite or finite Earthlike ones.
Following Soward's (1979) results the case of
gives the instabilities of MAC-waves with much greater frequencies than for the case of q  1. Critical frequencies of MAC waves are most sensitive on Roberts number for q  1 and lose this sensitivity for q 2. On the other hand the critical Rayleigh numbers are slightly dependent on q 1. Many qualitative differences in the dependences on q do exist for infinitely and finitely conducting boundaries. The former do not allow  fast eastward modes for q  1 and the latter, e.g. allow eastward MC-waves with azimuthal wave number m = 1. The MC-waves are almost independent on Roberts number q. |
