A Midlatitude–ENSO Teleconnection Mechanism via Baroclinically Unstable Long Rossby Waves
The possibility of generating decadal ENSO variability via an ocean teleconnection to the midlatitude Pacific is studied. This is done by analyzing the sensitivity of the equatorial stratification to midlatitude processes using an ocean general circulation model, the adjoint method, and a quasigeostrophic normal-mode stability analysis. It is found that, on timescales of 2–15 yr, the equatorial...
متن کاملOn a possible mechanism of anomalous diffusion by Rossby waves
We study the advection of passive tracers by traveling plane Rossby waves of finite amplitude. In distinction with previous studies the nonlinearity of the wave field is taken into account in the first order of perturbation theory by considering the Lagrangian transport by resonant wave triads. Using the waves’ phases as new dynamical variables we reduce the problem to the study of a specific o...
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...
