We give a linear‐stability analysis of the two‐time‐level semi‐implicit discretization of the adiabatic fully‐compressible equations on an f ‐plane. Previous work has shown that the scheme is stable with respect to perturbations to a hydrostatic and isothermal basic state if the same time‐implicit weight is used throughout and is greater than ½. In this note, we generalize this result to the case where different time weights are used for different terms. © Crown Copyright 2008.
