Equatorial Rossby wave
ID: equatorial-rossby-wave
Equatorial Rossby waves are a type of wave that occurs in the atmosphere and oceans near the equator. They are part of a broader classification known as Rossby waves, which are large-scale waves that result from the rotation of the Earth (Coriolis effect) and the gradient of pressure in the atmosphere. Equatorial Rossby waves are characterized by their unique properties at low latitudes, primarily due to the atmospheric dynamics in this region.
