Propagation properties of Rossby waves for latitudinal β-plane variations of <I>f</I> and zonal variations of the shallow water speed

Using the shallow water equations for a rotating layer of fluid, the wave and dispersion equations for Rossby waves are developed for the cases of both the standard β-plane approximation for the latitudinal variation of the Coriolis parameter <I>f</I> and a zonal variation of the shall...
