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:
BUT the Chelton/Schlax Science paper (12Apr96 p234) reports TOPEX/POSEIDON
ocean surface height data and then says these transverse waves move the
water/weather/currents horizontally. What do I miss??? Probably a lot as
the paper uses copious oceanography jargon.
Chelton emails me that the ocean tides have nothing to do with Rossby Waves
-- it is hard to see why there is no interaction -- I confess that I *want*
there to be interaction as I am expecting to find long wavelength tidal
waves -- when I first heard of Rossby Waves, I happily thought I had found
them in disguise. This to educate those who still think there is a "tidal
bulge". I guess I will have to look elsewhere.
