Excitation and dispersion of a Rossby wave train on the polar jet by an extra-tropical transition of a hurricane
The enhanced potential vorticity gradients along the polar jet serve as a wave guide for trapped Rossby waves. These tropopause level, synoptic scale Rossby waves are of primary importance for weather development at the surface. In particular, extreme weather events have been linked to the existence...
