Propagation of Rossby Waves in Stratified Shear Flows
A study is made of the propagation of Rossby waves in a stably stratified shear flows. The wave equation for the Rossby waves is derived in an isothermal atmosphere on a beta plane in the presence of a latitudinally sheared zonal flow. It is shown that the wave equation is singular at five critical levels, but the wave absorption takes place only at the two levels where the local relative frequ...
متن کاملTrapping Rossby Waves
Waves associated to large scale oceanic motions are gravity waves (Poincaré waves which disperse fast) and quasigeostrophic waves (Rossby waves). In this Note, we show by semiclassical arguments, that Rossby waves can be trapped and we characterize the corresponding initial conditions.
متن کاملRossby waves: synergy in action.
Rossby waves are an important phenomenon, linking processes in the west of ocean basins with forcing that occurred earlier in the east. We show evidence for such features in satellite-derived datasets of sea-surface height, temperature and ocean colour, using a section of the south Indian Ocean as an example. We discuss the possible mechanisms for an effect on chlorophyll, and we investigate th...
متن کاملSynergistic Observations of Rossby Waves
Rossby waves are an important part of the ocean's response to changes in atmospheric stimuli, and provide a mechanism by which the west of ocean basins learns of changes in the east. In the past decade many papers have discussed their sea surface height signal in the altimetric record, showing that Rossby waves are common in all ocean basins and drawing attention to the discrepancy between obse...
متن کاملRossby waves in ocean circulation*
-It is shown that damped, stat ionary Rossby waves can occur in the ocean superimposed on a steady west to east flow. A model o f wind-driven ocean circulation in a two dimensional homogeneous ocean is constructed in which Rossby waves occur in the northern port ion of the basin. I N T R O D U C T I O N SINCE the work of SmMMEL (1948) it has been recognized that any dynamic theory of wind-drive...
