The Dubreil-Jacotin-Long (DJL) equation is derived from the steady Euler equations. The result is a single equation for the isopycnal displacement . Here are a few cases:

Boussinesq with constant background current

where . is the far upstream density profile, is a constant reference density ,and is the acceleration due to gravity.

Boussinesq with non-constant background current

Non-Boussinesq constant background current

where Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \[N^2(z) = \frac{-g\bar{\rho}'(z)}{\bar{\rho}(z)}}
