Planetary Waves

Planetary Waves is a type of large-scale, low-frequency wave motion in rotating geophysical fluids that arises from the meridional gradient of planetary vorticity (the beta effect) and is characterized by Rossby-wave dispersion properties that organize and modulate planetary-scale circulation and associated weather–climate variability.
