We examine the baroclinic instability problem in some simple two-level models on a sphere. We find that there are large momentum transports associated with the growing waves. These transports are induced by aspects of the spherical geometry other than those included in the beta-plane analysis. On the other hand, the beta-plane gives a good description of the essential dynamics of the waves.
