Variations in Wave Energy and Amplitudes Along the Ray Paths of Barotropic Rossby Waves in Horizontally Non-Uniform Basic Flows

A non-divergent barotropic model on a sphere transformed to Mercator coordinates is used to examine the variations in wave energy and amplitude along the energy dispersion paths of barotropic Rossby waves in non-uniform basic flows. Wave energy can be easily solved by specifying the divergence of th...
