A theory of Rossby waves makes a number of predictions about motions below the thermocline at Site D (39 10 N, 70 W). An experiment was made to test these predictions. Kinetic energy spectra shows most of the energy is associated with periods of a week to a few months. The Reynolds' ...

For zonal wave number 2, most frequent periods reported are near 4 and 15 days. Vertical structures of the traveling large-scale waves that have been studied so far resemble those of external waves with very small phase change with height and some indication of an amplitude increase with ...
The westward propagation of Rossby waves from the Pacific Ocean and eastward propagation of Kelvin waves from the Indian Ocean may play important roles, as was suggested by Wijffels et al. (2004). The annual harmonics of the alongshore wind stress exhibited a significant correlation with the ASV...
Near 89°N, increased dissipation rates have been recorded in the pycnocline following strong winds, coherent with energized near-inertial internal waves (Fer, 2014). North of Svalbard, winter storms increased the pycnocline fluxes by a factor of 2 (Meyer, Fer, et al., 2017) and the ocean-...
Second Baroclinic Mode Rossby Waves in the South Indian Ocean Many previous studies of midlatitude Rossby waves have examined satellite altimetry data, which reflect variability near the surface above the pycnocline. ... M Nagura,S Osafune - 《Journal of Physical Oceanography》 被引量: 0发表: 2022...
Easterly Waves (EWs) are CCEWs that travel westwards, and their structure is Rossby wave-like. EWs produce significant amounts of rainfall in the tropics that affect large populations over this region. This type of CCEW is also well-known as a precursor of tropical cyclones (TCs) ...

Although the wind stress curl has very little zonal variability at the annual period in the northern tropical Pacific, an annual fluctuation of 20°C depth propagates westward as a long Rossby wave near 5°N and 14°-18°N in agreement with the model hindcast. Near the thermocline ridge ...
These Rossby waves generate variability in temperature O(1°C), salinity O(0.2 g kg−1), density O(0.2 kg m−3), and oxygen concentration O(10 μmol kg−1), associated with 10 m vertical displacements of the thermocline. The variability extends down to 1000 m, the greatest depth ...
