The linear stability of three-dimensional vortices in rotating, stratified flows has been studied by analysing the non-hydrostatic inviscid Boussinesq equations. We have focused on a widely used model of geophysical and astrophysical vortices, which assumes an axisymmetric Gaussian structure for pressure anomalies in the horizontal and vertical directions. For a range of Rossby numbers ( $-0.5
