Rossby Waves in Astrophysics [PDF]
AbstractRossby waves are a pervasive feature of the large-scale motions of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. These waves (also known as planetary waves and r-modes) also play an important role in the large-scale dynamics of different astrophysical objects such as the solar atmosphere and interior, astrophysical discs, rapidly rotating stars, planetary

A Review of the Role of the Oceanic Rossby Waves in Climate Variability
In this paper, the role of oceanic Rossby waves in climate variability is reviewed, as well as their dynamics in tropical oceans and at mid-latitudes.

Space Weather Challenge and Forecasting Implications of Rossby Waves
Rossby waves arise in thin layers within fluid regions of stars and planets. These global wave‐like patterns occur due to the variation in Coriolis forces with latitude.

Observed Power and Frequency Variations of Solar Rossby Waves with Solar Cycles
Several recent studies utilizing different helioseismic methods have confirmed the presence of large-scale vorticity waves known as solar Rossby waves within the Sun.

Role of equatorial waves and convective gravity waves in the 2015/16 quasi-biennial oscillation disruption [PDF]
In February 2016, the descent of the westerly phase of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) was unprecedentedly disrupted by the development of easterly winds.

What Determines the Lagged ENSO Response in the South‐West Indian Ocean?
Oceanic Rossby waves can propagate climate signals over considerable distances over long timescales. Using a long simulation from a coupled climate model, we examine oceanic and mixed atmosphere‐ocean teleconnections to the south‐western Indian Ocean ...

Contributions of equatorial waves and small-scale convective gravity waves to the 2019/20 quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) disruption [PDF]
In January 2020, unexpected easterly winds developed in the downward-propagating westerly quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) phase. This event corresponds to the second QBO disruption in history, and it occurred 4 years after the first disruption of 2015 ...

Rossby waves, one of significant waves in the solitary wave, have important theoretical meaning in the atmosphere and ocean. However, the previous studies on Rossby waves commonly were carried out in the zonal area and could not be applied directly to ...
