In the recent literature, attention has been drawn to the previously uninvestigated mechanism of the occurrence of flows in a stratified fluid in a gravity field. Such flows can occur in the absence of pulse and buoyancy sources due to horizontal inhomogeneity of transfer coefficients. For the first time, this investigation provides an example of an exact analytical solution of such a problem free from assumptions of amplitude smallness.
