The vertical structure of oceanic Rossby waves: a comparison of high-resolution model data to theoretical vertical structures

Tests of the new Rossby wave theories that have been developed over the past decade to account for discrepancies between theoretical wave speeds and those observed by satellite altimeters have focused primarily on the surface signature of such waves. It appears, however, that the surface signature o...
