DOI: 10.1017/jfm.2020.437
Abstract: Abstract Approximate analytical expressions for the eigenfrequencies of freely propagating, divergent, barotropic topographic Rossby waves over a step shelf are derived. The amplitude equation, that incorporates axisymmetric topography while retaining full spherical geometry, is analysed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-18-0247.1
Abstract: Topographic Rossby waves (TRWs) are reported to make a significant contribution to the deep-ocean current variability. On the northern South China Sea (NSCS) continental slope, TRWs with peak spectral energy at ~14.5 days are observed… read more here.
