Rossby-gravity waves are a type of wave that occurs in rotating fluids, such as the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. They are the result of the interplay between the effects of Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) and gravity, and they play a crucial role in understanding atmospheric and oceanic dynamics. ### Key Features: 1. **Components**: - **Rossby Waves**: These arise primarily due to the rotation of the Earth and the conservation of angular momentum.
