RE: Rossby waves



Hi Kyle-
I found the discussion of internal waves in Eckart's book
"Physics of the Oceans and Atmosphere" to be very usable.
Regards,
Jack

Here are a couple of general references that might be relevant. I don't
recall if Rossby waves are explicitly mentioned but the idea of internal
waves (as opposed to surface waves) are:

Osborn & Burch; Science 1980 vol 208 p451.
Russell Herman; American Scientist vol 80 p350, 1992

to wit, how the milk gets into the cow. Both of us
had marveled over that mystery a long time. We had
followed the cows around for years - that is, in the
daytime - but had never caught them drinking fluid of
that color."
