An analytical model of the asymmetric lobe morphology of propagating jets propagating through atmospheric gradients is presented. The model reproduces the gross morphology seen in the simulations. Jets with different speeds in different atmospheres are studied. Various jet, cocoon, and lobe morphologies arise primarily from changes in the propagation speed of an expanding jet head, changes in the density gradient in the external medium, and changes in the backflows behind the jet heat. It is found that density gradients result in taillike rather than lobelike morphologies. These simulations show that atmospheric properties contribute to the difference between lobelike and taillike morphologies in radio galaxies.
