Trapping 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 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: 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 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...
متن کاملSubharmonic resonant excitation of edge waves by breaking surface waves
We have added a new Figure 3, where we show two frequency spectra. The first spectrum (Figure 3 a) is in absence of the breaking waves, where the first peak indicates the edge wave frequency and the second peak indicates the surface elevation frequency. The second frequency spectrum (Figure 3 b) is plotted in presence of breaking wave and indicates the suppression of the peak for the edge wave ...
