| 21. | Each large meander, or wave, within the jet stream is known as a Rossby wave ( planetary wave ).
|
| 22. | Satellite observations have revealed the stately progression of Rossby waves across all the ocean basins, particularly at low-and mid-latitudes.
|
| 23. | Usually the shorter Rossby waves have an eastward group velocity and the longer ones have a westward group velocity.
|
| 24. | Wavenumbers 1 6 are called long waves and often synonymous in meteorological literature with the mid-latitude planetary Rossby waves.
|
| 25. | At shortest periods are the equatorial gravity waves while the longest periods are associated with the equatorial Rossby waves.
|
| 26. | Internal waves are usually distinguished from Rossby waves, which are influenced by the change of Coriolis frequency with latitude.
|
| 27. | The terms " barotropic " and " baroclinic ", are used to distinguish the vertical structure of Rossby waves.
|
| 28. | In addition, long distance links that are associated with Rossby waves are the most dominant links in the climate network.
|
| 29. | In the atmosphere it gives rise to large-scale patterns like Rossby waves and determines the basic circulation patterns of storms.
|
| 30. | This blocking pattern causes Rossby waves with zonal wavenumber 1 and / or 2 to grow to unusually large amplitudes.
