Rossby wave dispersion from β-plane geostrophy (geophysics)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the Geophysics subtree

Geophysics application of L0 linear-ODE and Fourier-series theory. On a rotating planet the Coriolis parameter f = 2Ω sin φ varies with latitude; expanding to first order about a reference latitude φ₀ gives the β-plane approximation f ≈…
