The dependent variables in this set of equations are u, v, , , T, andq which are assumed to be continuous functions of the independentvariables x, y, p, and t. Eqs. (1), (2), (5), and (6) are prognostic equations(involve a time derivative) and thus require initialconditions. Initial conditions are derived from observations or the use of somebalance relationship Eqs. (3) and (4) are diagnostic equations and can becomputed once the initial conditions are providedThus, Eqs (1) to (6) constitute a set of 6 equations and6 unknowns
