Abstract
The standard mean flow equation of quasigeostrophic theory omits the mass term in the angular momentum budget. A modification of this equation is proposed for barotropic flow over topography where the mass term is incorporated. The modified equation is applied to a topographic instability problem. It is found that the growth rates are substantially reduced if the mass term is taken into account.
