  1. meteorology - What are Atmospheric Rossby Waves and how do …

    Some say Rossby waves are parcels of air moving from east to west due to the coriolis effect (which seems like a description for a jet stream) while others sources say it's the curving of the …

  2. How can oceanic Rossby waves move from East to West?

    May 14, 2020 · I can find several examples of Rossby waves, mainly atmospheric, moving towards East. Is it possible that they also move towards West?

  3. geophysics - How do Rossby Waves in the ocean form? - Earth …

    First of all, Rossby wave forms not only in the ocean, but also in the atmosphere (even in magma). It is a feature of fluids on rotating planets. Maybe you can try to understand Rossby …

  4. What is the correct velocity to calculate propagation speed of a …

    Jan 7, 2024 · I personally picture it as the envelope that alters the amplitude of your Rossby wave (and usually this envelope moves at a different speed - the group velocity - than individual …

  5. Unstable North Polar Vortex? - Earth Science Stack Exchange

    Jan 30, 2019 · It is only the wintertime atmosphere that permits Rossby waves to reach the stratosphere and deposit energy and hence sudden stratospheric warmings are only observed …

  6. atmosphere - Are there any types of winds or waves that are …

    Aug 30, 2022 · Are there any types of wind or waves caused and produced only and exclusively by Earth's rotation? Not influenced by Earth rotation, but produced solely by it? In the case of …

  7. How will climate change affect planetary waves?

    Nov 21, 2016 · You can see planetary/rossby waves in the meanders of the jet stream. In short: If an air parcel moves from warm subtropics towards the pole, it will deviate toward the east due …

    Feb 6, 2023 · I have trouble understanding the Rossby waves in the atmosphere. Sometimes they are said to be caused by the jets moving from west to east. But the phase velocity of the …

  9. meteorology - Initiation of Rossby waves during MJO - Earth …

    Oct 2, 2015 · I am trying to understand the basic dynamics of MJO, where I find several studies which relate it to the initiation of equatorial Rossby and Kelvin waves. Though MJO is an …

  10. ocean - Any site for monitoring equatorial oceanic waves? - Earth ...

    Nov 30, 2016 · 2 I use Carl Schreck's site Equatorial Wave Zoo for monitoring atmospheric waves such as Kelvin wave, Equatorial Rossby wave, filtered MJO OLR, Mixed Rossby Wave …
