| 11. | Poleward-propagating Rossby waves explain many of the observed statistical connections between low and high latitude climates.
|
| 12. | Why is the Rossby wave the slowest wave?
|
| 13. | The Rossby waves are themselves a different wind speed from what we experience in the lower troposphere.
|
| 14. | Rossby waves "'on Earth are giant meanders in high-altitude winds that have a major influence on weather.
|
| 15. | In turn, Rossby waves alter the water temperature and density, pushing the thermocline downward by several hundred feet.
|
| 16. | Baroclinic Rossby waves are much slower.
|
| 17. | Until now, Wolff said, there have been only indirect and inconclusive evidence for Rossby waves through sunspot observations.
|
| 18. | In planetary atmospheres, including Earth, Rossby waves are due to the variation in the Coriolis effect with latitude.
|
| 19. | The outflow of air mass from the cell creates harmonic waves in the atmosphere known as Rossby waves.
|
| 20. | Rossby waves also depend on variations in " f ", and do not occur in the f-plane approximation.
