What is a rossby wave?
These are also known as planetary waves, and are simply waves in the geopotential height field of the atmosphere. There are typically 3-7 of the at any given time circling the hemisphere.
Why circular waves are formed in water?
transverse waves
Are the waves formed by sound transverse waves?
They are longitudinal waves. Because they form compressions & rarefactions when they move.
Why the waves have white caps?
because it is formed by bubbles
Water waves are longitudial waves?
Waves formed on the surface of water are transverse in nature. But sound waves when propagated through water medium then that will be in longitudinal nature. Cannot be seen on the surface.
Upper atmoshperic waves are also called?
They are called by either Planetary waves or Rossby waves.
How is la Nina formed?
La Nina can only form after an El Niño. During an El Niño, types of waves, not beach waves, but massive movements of energy through water, are formed. They are Kelvin waves and Rossby waves. As Kelvin waves are formed, they push cold water down, which initially causes the ocean to warm. At the same time, another series of waves, Rossby waves, also form under water. They roll towards Asia and Australia. When the waves hit the coast, they reverse and head back towards South America. As the Rossby waves return, they leave cold water closer to the surface. If they bring back just enough cold water, the ocean temperatures return to normal, but sometimes they bring back to much, causing a La Niña after an El Niño.

Where are Rossby waves found?
They are found everywhere. These are also known as planetary waves, and are simply waves in the geopotential height field of the atmosphere. There are typically 3-7 of the at any given time circling the hemisphere.

What factors contribute to global winds and identify weak areas?
The factors that influence wind are pressure gradient, Rossby waves and jet streams, and local weather conditions.
