Rossby Wave Instability

Rossby Wave Instability is a theoretical construct in atmospheric dynamics that identifies the conditions under which Rossby waves amplify and destabilize due to barotropic or baroclinic energy conversion, distinguishing it from stable wave propagation by the growth of perturbations in the synoptic-scale flow.
