Interpretation of the propagation of surface altimetric observations in terms of planetary waves and geostrophic turbulence
The interpretation of surface altimetric signals in terms of Rossby waves is revisited. Rather than make the long-wave approximation, the horizontal scale of the waves is adjusted to optimally fit the phase speed predicted by linear theory to that observed by altimetry, assuming a first baroclinic m...
