By means of a transformation originally proposed by Long (1953) we obtain exact solutions for periodic wave flow of a stratified shearing fluid between rigid plane boundaries. The examples worked out are less particular than any previously published, and show a substantial decrease in wavelength when the amplitude increases once rotors have been formed even though the equations are linear.
