Equatorial Waves

Equatorial Waves Kelvin Waves Figure Obtained From Introduction Equatorial waves are present in both the tropical atmosphere and ocean and play an important role in the evolution of many climate phenomena such as el niño. Equatorial waves are defined as a special class of weather producing waves that propagate along the equator, exhibiting characteristics of both gravity waves and rossby waves, with amplitudes decreasing with latitude.

Equatorial Waves Kelvin Waves Figure Obtained From Introduction Latent heat release in deep, moist convection (convective heating) is the most common diabatic driver of equatorial waves. herein, we describe each wave type, consider basic dynamical properties of each wave type, and then discuss how we can identify and track these waves. Equatorial waves are an important class of eastward and westward propagating disturbances that are trapped about the equator (that is, they decay away from the equatorial region). Equatorial waves exist in the atmosphere and ocean and cause perturbations in dynamical and thermodynamical variables large enough to be crucial for many aspects of tropical weather and climate. Geophysical fluids on a rotating sphere develop propagating planetary scale disturbances trapped at the equator that are usually referred to as “equatorial waves” (ews).

Geophysical fluids on a rotating sphere develop propagating planetary scale disturbances trapped at the equator that are usually referred to as “equatorial waves” (ews). Atmospheric equatorial waves are confined to, and move, or propagate, along the equator. equatorial waves can cause variations in pressure, temperature and winds. Equatorial waves (ews) are synoptic to planetary scale propagating disturbances at low latitudes with periods from a few days to several weeks. Equatorial waves are synoptic to planetary scale propagating disturbances at low latitudes with frequencies from a few days to several weeks. An equatorial wave is a type of large scale wave that is confined to the equatorial region and can include various types of waves such as equatorial rossby waves, kelvin waves, westward and eastward propagating inertiogravity waves, and mixed rossby gravity waves.
