Rossby Wave Absorption

Rossby Wave Absorption is a theoretical framework in atmospheric and oceanic dynamics that characterizes the process by which Rossby wave energy is transferred to the mean flow or dissipated through interaction with background shear, topography, or critical layers, distinguishing it from related wave phenomena by its focus on the irreversible loss of wave activity from the propagating system.
