Scientific paper

The linear stability with respect to three-dimensional perturbations of unbounded barotropic and baroclinic shear flows depending linearly on both transverse coordinates is studied. The Boussinesq approximation is used, but the usual hydrostatic approximation in the vertical is relaxed. Dissipation effects are ignored. A baroclinic flow can always be destabilized by sufficiently large horizontal anticyclonic shear. The results are relevant for the stability of differential rotation in radiative stars and accretion disks.
