The linear theory for stationary Rossby waves excited by flow over long ridges is reviewed. The traditional "textbook" model, in which there is no disturbance of the potential temperature surfaces or ...
Eight days ago, it rained over the western Pacific Ocean near Japan. There was nothing especially remarkable about this rain event, yet it made big waves twice. First, it disturbed the atmosphere in ...
A climatology of Rossby wave initiation (RWI) events on the Northern Hemisphere midlatitude jet is compiled by applying an objective RWI identification algorithm to the ERA-Interim dataset. In winter, ...
The same kind of large-scale planetary waves that meander through the atmosphere high above Earth's surface may also exist on the sun, according to a new study. The same kind of large-scale planetary ...

A new video of Jupiter captures dynamic changes in the planet's atmosphere caused by an invisible wave rippling one of the gas giant's fast-moving jet streams. Astronomers used the new movies, which ...
